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.

    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

    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.
