Former President Donald Trump said during a rally in Michigan on Saturday that there’s “something wrong” with Vice President Kamala Harris.
“You do know she's doing really badly, right?” Trump asked the crowd. “She can't speak. There's something wrong with her. We went through four years of that. We can't go through four more.” The former president also hosted a rally in the State College borough of Pennsylvania.
On Friday, Trump told podcaster Joe Rogan that his biggest mistake during his first term in the White House was hiring “disloyal people.”
Rogan asked Trump if he had made “bad choices” when putting in place various officials. “The biggest mistake I made,” Trump said, was that “I picked some people that I shouldn’t have picked.”
Trump also hit out at “stupid women” as he accused political commentators of distorting his comments in the run-up to the election.
In a three-hour interview, he appeared to single out MSNBC’s Joy Reid and others.
“Some of these women, they’re so stupid,” he said.
It came as Harris appeared alongside pop superstar Beyonce and country music veteran Willie Nelson in Houston, Texas, for a rally focused on reproductive rights on Friday.
