President Trumps Remarks

Former president Donald Trump campaigned Wednesday night in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. While he did not address his racist comments directed at Vice President Kamala Harris at a National Association of Black Journalists earlier that day, he did say “challenge accepted” to comparing records with Harris – though it’s unclear if he was agreeing to a debate. Trump used the rally to spread disinformation about election security, and falsely claim his various criminal trials are politically motivated. He also made anti-immigrant, anti-Palestinian, and transphobic remarks, and called his political opponents “enemies of our country.”
