Former President Donald Trump repeated an attack directed at Vice President Kamala Harris at a campaign rally on Sunday.
Speaking to supporters in Erie, Pennsylvania, Trump echoed a remark he made at a rally in Wisconsin the day before, saying that “there’s definitely something missing” in relation to Harris and “everybody knows it.”
“Crooked Joe Biden became mentally impaired — sad. But lyin’ Kamala Harris, honestly, I believe she was born that way. There’s something wrong with Kamala, and I just don’t know what it is but there is definitely something missing. And you know what, everybody knows it,” he said.
On Saturday, in remarks that focused on the southern border and immigration, Trump also said Harris “was born that way,” adding that “only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country.”
The attack was quickly denounced by various disability advocacy groups, including the American Association of People with Disabilities.
Former Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan also slammed earlier remark from Trump, saying the former president’s “divisive rhetoric is something we could do without.”
“I think all of that is outrageous and unacceptable. And I’ve already called him out when he had the one interview where he was questioning her racial identity, and now he’s questioning her mental competence. And I think that’s insulting, not only to the vice president but to people that actually do have mental disabilities,” he said.
Trump has ramped up his attacks on Harris, specifically on the border after she visited the southern border on Friday.

In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump said, “What Comrade Kamala Harris has done to our Country at the Border by allowing 13,099 murderers to roam openly, and be free to kill, is The Crime of the Century. They have already killed many people, and this is just the beginning. She should be IMPEACHED, PROSECUTED, or BOTH!”
Trump was referencing a report from Immigration and Customs Enforcement that revealed that more than 13,000 immigrants convicted of homicide are living outside of ICE detention facilities in the United States. A spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security said the data in the report goes back 40 years, long before the Trump and Biden administrations.
