The Trump campaign is speaking out after Vice President Kamala Harris refused to denounce remarks comparing attendees of President Donald Trump’s rallies to Nazis.
The comments were shared during an interview on Tuesday Harris shared with WISN-TV.
“I talked with Gov. Walz yesterday. He compared Trump’s rally on Sunday to that of one of the Nazi rallies in the 30s in Madison Square Gardens. Do you compare that? Do you find that similar comparison?” the reporter asked.
“Listen, this election is in seven days, and I think the American people have a very clear choice,” Harris answered.
“And on the one hand you have Donald Trump who is constantly fanning the flames of division and hate, who is trying to have the American people point their fingers at each other, or my leadership, which is founded on a lived and experience that the vast majority of us have more in common that what separate us,” she added.
The interview came just ahead of Harris giving her “closing argument” speech for American voters on Tuesday evening, speaking from the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., to remind Americans of the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
Trump campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized the performance in a strong rebuke of the vice president’s weak approach.
“Kamala Harris is lying, name-calling, and clinging to the past to avoid admitting the truth — the migrant crime crisis, sky-high inflation, and raging world wars are the result of her terrible policies,” Leavitt stated.
“Kamala’s first day in office was over 1,300 days ago, and she has spent the past four years working hand-in-hand with Joe Biden to destroy our country – but now, she is lying about her record because she has zero policy solutions to offer. As for President Trump, his closing argument to the American people is simple: Kamala broke it; he will fix it,” she added.
As RSBN reported Tuesday, momentum for Harris has apparently faded. USA Today revealed on Monday that it will not endorse Harris despite endorsing President Joe Biden in 2020.
The news adds to a growing list of mainstream publications backing away from the Harris-Walz ticket in the final days ahead of the election. Other publications include The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Detroit Free Press and the Minnesota Star Tribune.
