During his Michigan rally, Donald Trump took advantage of recent White House blunders by criticizing Kamala Harris for making “one of the worst” errors to date when she confused North with South Korea.
The former president also complimented Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, for remaining steadfast in her conviction that the 2020 presidential election was rigged after voluntarily testifying before the January 6 select committee.
Thomas, according to Trump, “didn’t wilt under pressure like so many others.” She spoke what she felt and what she believed. Too many Republicans are scared and weak.
He said that individuals who refuse to concede the 2020 election fraud allegations display “courage and bravery.”
In statements made last week in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea during a four-day Asia tour, Vice President Harris declared that the United States had a solid partnership with the communist country.
She is a “North Korea sympathizer,” Trump said in jest, to the amusement of the Michigan audience.
Harris, referring to the Republic of Korea, the official name of South Korea, stated on Thursday: “The United States enjoys a very vital connection, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea.”
It is a solid and long-lasting connection, she said, not seeming to realize her error.
The term “North” was crossed out in a subsequent copy of the speech so that the White House stenographer’s office could fact-check it.
Regarding the error, Trump said, “I believe it was one of the greatest blunders of all.” “Can you picture?” While she is speaking, North Korea is firing off missiles from its side of the border.
They are firing missiles, and she is referring to North Korea as “our ally and our friend,” Trump said. And as soon as I heard that, I thought, “Oh, she probably didn’t mean it.
Throughout Harris’ trip around Asia last week, North Korea launched a number of missile tests, one of which occurred while she was speaking at the DMZ.
Even while he said he would be “mad” if someone did that during his speech, the former president claimed Harris’ staff should have sent someone up straight away to chastise her.
However, Trump said, “In that one, I would be very pleased to hear their advise, because it’s one of the worst I’ve ever seen.”
It’s appalling ineptitude, he said.
An on-screen film of Biden’s verbal slip-ups and physical blunders, including sliding up the stairs, was aired prior to the former president taking the platform.
How can you lead when you can’t even talk, the video’s concluding question asked.
On Saturday, Trump brought his campaign to Michigan for a rally in a state where few, if any, seats are expected to change hands in the upcoming midterm elections.
With 38 days before the midterm elections, four GOP candidates from Michigan joined Trump in his speech roughly 20 miles outside of the very blue city of Detroit. They had earlier this year won their primary with his support.
As election day approaches, Tudor Dixon, a candidate for governor, has an uphill struggle in her effort to unseat Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Trump spent a portion of his more than an hour and a half long speech bemoaning the outcome of the 2020 presidential race in Michigan. He also commended those who led the fight to have the results overturned.
Trump commended Ginni Thomas for last week’s statement to the January 6 select committee in which she reiterated her belief that the 2020 election was rigged.
She voluntarily showed up to talk with the committee and was there for almost 4.5 hours. According to Cahirman Bennie Thompson of the panel, Thomas’ evidence may be presented at the next public hearing ‘if there is anything of worth.
In a statement, Thomas’ attorney Mark Paoletta said that Thomas had responded to “all of the committee’s queries.”
Mrs. Thomas has serious worries about fraud and anomalies in the 2020 election, as she has said repeatedly, Paoletta said. Additionally, she informed the Committee that the majority of her mainstream and minimum work was devoted to ensuring that fraud and irregularity allegations were looked into.
Beyond that, Paoletta stated, “she had no part in anything that happened following the 2020 election results.”
Trump’s allegations of election fraud continue to inspire supporters, who erupted in applause when he and other MAGA candidates pledged to help return the nation to in-person voting on paper ballots.
Whitmer is okay with “people murdering their infants,” according to a protest participant who would not provide their name or age to DailyMail.com.
When questioned further whether she thought the abortion debate would push more people against Whitmer, the Trump supporter said, “Oh, yeah.”
However, polling indicates that Whitmer’s prospects in the midterms don’t seem to be impacted by abortion. In fact, as the race draws closer, the incumbent’s margin has grown, reaching a high of 16 percent over Dixon last month.
Most participants wore regalia supporting Dixon or others, as is customary at previous Trump rallies, but most looked entirely unconcerned in some of the local contests in their state, with many booing at the sight of Whitmer’s name.
Ten of the state’s thirteen House elections include incumbent members, and his choices for secretary of state and attorney general in Michigan will also have to unseat incumbents in those positions.
Unlike many other locations the 45th president visits, the event was staged in a more intimate setting. According to the university’s website, the Macomb Community College Sports & Expo Center in Warren, Michigan can accommodate 4,000 people.
With hours before the former president’s address, scores of fans who had waited all day to enter the arena began laying out their coats to sit or lie down on the floor.
Even though the former president’s support for Trump helped him defeat incumbent GOP Representative Peter Meijer in their primary earlier this year, John Gibbs did not speak at Trump’s event on Saturday.
Meijer was a victim of Trump’s campaign of retaliation against all of the Republican members who supported his impeachment.
Due to the loss of a congressional district in Michigan in the 2020 census, the pivotal state will also have one less Electoral College vote in presidential elections during the next ten years.
Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters are both Democrats, and neither is up for reelection in the 2022 midterm elections. Currently, the House of Representatives for Michigan has seven Democrats and seven Republicans.
After Trump won there in 2016, which helped drive him to the White House, the Great Lakes State flipped blue in 2020.
Trump and his supporters said the results were a hoax because of the state’s switch from red to blue and the Democratic leadership there. In an effort to rig the election, Michigan was targeted along with other key states including Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
One of Trump’s strongest backers in the House, Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, revealed to supporters assembled in Michigan on Saturday that she and Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz spearheaded plans to “object to the election in Michigan on January 6.”
In addition, she accused Democrats of wanting to “emasculate” American automobiles in the name of environmental protection, notably mentioning homosexual Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
To loud applause, the pastor leading the prayer earlier in the event urged, “Let our girls be girls and our boys be boys,” which is sometimes the only politically neutral section of a Trump rally.
Ironically, the venue personnel had to change the men’s restroom into the women’s restroom owing to a lack of restrooms after numerous speakers urged that biological males refrain from using women’s restrooms.
Many rally attendees brought out the irony, with one asking whether they could use the restroom inside if they identified as women. after being instructed to use a portable toilet outside the stadium, guys.
