During a campaign rally in Glendale, Arizona on Wednesday evening, Senator JD Vance of Ohio scathingly attacked Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her a “phony” and questioning her sincerity.
His remarks came shortly after former president Donald Trump’s questioning of Harris ‘ identity at the Chicago convention of the National Association of Black Journalists.
Vance, who is running as Trump’s vice presidential find, criticized Harris for her culture and subsequent changes in her public image. ” Earlier this year, she went down to Georgia and started talking with a bogus Southern accent”, Vance said, referring to Harris’s recent campaign look. ” Kamala Harris grew up in Canada. They do n’t talk like that in Vancouver or Quebec. What’s the offer with that”?
Trump had previously sparked controversy by suggesting that Harris had used her cultural identity to acquire advantage. ” She was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she became a Black people”, Trump remarked, despite Harris’s historic recognition as a Black person, given her Indian-American family and Jamaican-American parents.
Vance, who has recently worked with traditional characters like opportunity bourgeois Peter Thiel, criticized Harris for her role in addressing immigration problems. Despite lacking evidence to back up his statements that immigrants without legal status are putting strain on the government’s tools and that he had organized drug cartels in the United States.
Vance’s remarks at the march in Arizona were met with enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, which shows how heated the political environment is right now is.
