Viewers online strongly rebuked former president Donald Trump as he spouted incredibly bizarre claims during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, saying Democrats allow the execution of babies after birth
Users on X expressed strong opinions about the inflammatory comments online. “HOLY F***, Trump is talking about babies getting executed after birth,” wrote one. “This fearmongering and lying is getting so f****** old.”
OH MY GOD WHAT IS HE SAYING??? A PREGNANCY IS 9 MONTH THEY ARE NOT KILLING KIDS AFTER BIRTH DAWG,” another wrote. “‘Execute babies?!’ What is this FuckTard ramblin on about?!” a third posted. Trump’s outlandish comments followed a heartfelt response from Harris, during which she vowed to reinstate abortion rights in the US.
Trump, convicted on 34 felonies but managing to swing a delay in his sentencing for the New York hush money trial until after the Nov. 5 election, has brought much of his usual rheotic to tonight’s debate, giving Harris and her team plenty of time to come up with the right retorts.
Kamala Harris, a seasoned courtroom prosecutor, stepped into the spotlight facing high expectations against a GOP rival notorious for 34 felony convictions and frequent mistruths. The burning question is whether Harris can leverage her prosecutorial prowess to highlight Trump’s significant weaknesses in a direct confrontation on live TV for the world to see
Joe Biden set a remarkably low standard for Harris during the June 27 debate, where he stumbled through his points and often couldn’t complete his thoughts. The anti-Trump camp was particularly let down by his inability to capitalize on Trump’s evident vulnerabilities, from abortion and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot to character flaws and legal woes.
The expectation was that Harris would outperform Biden’s lackluster showing. Current polls indicate that the Democratic VP is neck and neck with the former Republican president in key battleground states.
However, despite the ripe opportunity, taking Trump down a peg in a debate is not as simple as it sounds. With his extensive debating experience and reality TV background, Trump is adept at commanding the media spotlight and relishes confrontation.
Harris herself seems eager for the challenge, having thrown down the gauntlet at a rally in Atlanta last month, where she taunted Trump before an enthusiastic crowd: “Donald,” she declared, “if you’ve got something to say, say it to my face.”
