Vice President Harris finds Trump’s ‘Like it or not’ comment ‘offensive’
As Americans approach Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris is refining her message that her opponent, former President Donald Trump, is the worst option for ladies and girls’s rights. At a campaign rally within the battleground state of Nevada, she told those that Trump’s recent remark that he’ll protect women whether “they want it or not” shows that he doesn’t understand women’s right to make decisions about their very own lives and body.
“By the way, I think it’s offensive to everyone” – AP reports Harris made the announcement on October 31 before campaign days in Nevada and Arizona
During the rally in Phoenix, she expanded on her message, stating, “He simply does not respect women’s freedom or the intelligence of women to know what is in their best interest and make decisions based on that. But we trust women.”
Harris has consistently delivered messages as she criss-crosses the country on the campaign trail. She hopes women’s rights could have an impact on women voting on the polls as Trump continues to grapple with demographic issues.
Meanwhile, during an October 30 rally on the battlefield in Wisconsin, Trump apparently he admitted to his supporters that advisers had urged him to refrain from using the term “defender” when discussing women’s rights because it was “inappropriate.” Immediately afterwards, he signals that he isn’t removing this word from his dictionary. He went a step further and told the group that he had told his advisors, “Well, I’m going to do it whether women like it or not. I’m going to guard them.”
Political pundits have it highlighted that his statements are sometimes contradictory, especially since he appointed three U.S. Supreme Court justices to ultimately create a conservative majority ruling overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022. Earlier this 12 months, Trump bragged about his role in overturning a constitutional law, calling it a “miracle ” – based on CBS reports.
While his message is inconsistent, Trump occasionally states that he believes abortion rights ought to be left to the states.
