Erie, Pennsylvania: Republicans on Sunday sought to distance themselves from Donald Trump's latest insults of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris during a rambling weekend rally in Wisconsin in which he called her "mentally disabled.”
Trump escalated his personal attacks on the vice president during a self-described "dark speech” on immigration following Harris’ trip to the US-Mexico border.
"Joe Biden became mentally impaired,” Trump said. "Kamala was born that way. She was born that way. And if you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country. Anybody would know this.”
Trump has already falsely claimed Harris "turned Black” and regularly insults her as "stupid,” "weak,” "dumb as a rock” and "lazy.” With just over a month left before the presidential election, his allies pushed him publicly and privately to talk instead about the economy, immigration and other issues.
