Harris says crude and racist rhetoric at Trump's event is fueling division

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris said Monday that there is no malice in Donald Trump Rally at Madison Square Garden will support the dreams and aspirations of the American people, but rather “fuel the attempt to divide our country.”

She said Trump's event on Sunday, where speakers uttered cruel and racist slurs, “highlighted the point I have made throughout the campaign.”

“He is focused and actually fixated on his grievances, on himself and on the division of our country, and that is in no way something that is going to strengthen the American family, the American worker,” the Democratic presidential candidate told reporters. She traveled to Michigan on Monday to continue her campaign eight days before the Nov. 5 election.

She said she would point out that “there's a big difference between him and me” in the big campaign finale speech she plans to give Tuesday night at the Ellipse Stadium near the White House.

In 2021, Trump, the former president and current Republican nominee, rallied his supporters during a speech at the Ellipse before urging them to go to the Capitol, where they rioted to try to overturn his defeat by Joe Biden at the Capitol to make amends for the 2020 presidential election.

Harris also said, “What he did last night is not a discovery.” It's just more of the same and possibly more vivid than usual. “Donald Trump spends all his time trying to get Americans to point fingers at each other, he stirs up hate and division, and that’s why people are exhausted by him.”

Trump's campaign has sought to distance itself from what was said at the event, including a speaker who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of trash.”
