    Trump and Vance insult Pelosi and Harris during the closing meetings

    Topline

    Former President Donald Trump hurled insults at former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during his campaign’s final rally in Michigan, which stretched into early Tuesday, while his running mate Sen. JD Vance Vice President Kamala Harris during an earlier Monday night meeting as “garbage” – This is a stark contrast to the Democratic candidate’s more optimistic closing message, calling for a “new start” for America.

    Key facts

    At his last rally, Trump said Pelosi was an “evil, sick, crazy bi…” before stopping himself and saying, “It starts with a B… I want to say it.”

    Trump also attacked Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. called him “sly Schiff” and said, “I call him pencil neck.”

    The former president repeatedly described Democrats as “evil” and “sick” in his closing speech, telling his supporters that if he lost the election, “we would have only you to blame.”

    At one of his last rallies on Monday night, Vance attacked Harris, saying, “In two days, we’re going to take out the trash in Washington, D.C. And the name of the trash is Kamala Harris.”

    Vance prefaced his attack by saying that “the citizens of this country don’t suck because they think you’re doing a bad job,” in an attempt to tie a comment from President Joe Biden to Harris’ campaign.

    Vance’s comments were a new attempt by the Trump campaign to focus the “garbage” controversy on Biden after facing strong backlash over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s comment at a Trump rally that called Puerto Rico a “driving island of waste”.

    Chief critic

    MSNBC host Nicole Wallace played the clip of Vance calling Harris “trash” on her show Monday night and saying, “You can’t agree with us (women)

    we’ve basically learned to deal with it our entire careers… But you call us trash… JD Vance, you just did it in a way that I’ve never seen in my political life and I have for Sarah Palin worked.’

    Crucial quote

    Harris, on the other hand, struck a more optimistic tone in her closing speech, saying: “We have an opportunity in this election to finally turn the page on a decade of politics driven by fear and division. We’re done with that… and we’re exhausted from it. America is ready for a new start.”
