MSNBC Host to JD Vance: ‘You Just Effed Up’ Calling Harris ‘Trash’
www.thedailybeast.com
Vance’s closing argument has been roundly criticized for further alienating female voters.

Summary

Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance faced intense backlash after calling Vice President Kamala Harris “trash” during a rally in Atlanta, a comment that MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace described as a major misstep.

Wallace and other commentators noted that such rhetoric, following Vance’s past controversial remarks about “childless cat ladies,” could alienate female voters—a demographic the Republican ticket already struggles with.

The “trash” comment is part of a broader trend among Trump’s supporters, who have recently used “garbage” imagery in their rhetoric.

    I get your point, but the folks at MSNBC have been consistently more critical of Trump than the other networks.

    And you’re not wrong that the USA is fucked for even entertaining the idea of Trump, but you’ll be waiting a long time if you’re sitting around hoping people become less dumb, selfish and would cut off their nose to spite their face. Try not to lose sleep over it, but at the same time if you were able to get even one person who was Trump supporting, undecided or uninterested to vote for Harris that is a positive thing.

      This wouldn’t even be a problem if Republican leadership hadn’t been laser-focused on destroying the American public education system for decades. Americans as a group are stupid, and it’s on purpose, engineered by Republicans.
