Comment on Wealthy GOP Candidates Face Rough Homecomings

Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake called Vice President Kamala Harris "despicable" for visiting the U. S. border even though Republicans have called on the Democratic candidate to do just that. In an interview on Sunday, host Maria Bartiromo asked Lake to react to Harris' visit to the border in Arizona. "Your reaction to Kamala Harris's border visit in Arizona on Friday," Bartiromo said. "I found it despicable," Lake replied.

Donald J. Trump held a bonkers rally Saturday in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, displaying his mental decline for the world to see, including blaming immigrants for a fly at the rally, among other peculiar moments. Trump, of course, continued his attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, this time by falsely claiming she was born “mentally impaired” and comparing her actions to that of “a mentally disabled person.” Donald is shaken over Harris's clear and concise speech at the border, so he tells the crowd that “Kamala is mentally impaired.

Nothing warms my liberal blogger’s heart like the kind of attack that will really rattle unfit candidate and felon, Donald Trump. Harris has two biggies in store. For one, while Donald Trump is in his seat at the game, he will likely notice a plane flying over the game with a banner reading, “Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate.” The 100,000 fans also attending can see it at the same time. There will also be many fans watching on TV for what CNN describes as the “high stakes” Alabama-Georgia game.

ABC News host Martha Raddatz interrupted a top surrogate for Republican vice presidential nominee J. D. Vance Sunday after he refused to deny false claims that Haitians are eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), who is helping Vance prepare for the vice presidential debate by playing the part of Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, appeared on ABC's This Week program. "Trump last night called Kamala Harris mentally disabled," Raddatz noted.

That’s rich coming from a man who doesn’t know what Hanukkah is, whose daughter funds Hamas, and who belongs to the political party that has antisemitism at its heart.

Sure, they’ve gone through the bureaucratic motions of FEMA funds and staff-written statements, but their hearts manifestly aren’t in it.
