Donald Trump targets Tim Walz in Montana rally, calls Democratic VP nominee 'very freakish'
BOZEMAN, MONTANA: Donald Trump took aim at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in a fiery speech at a rally in Bozeman, Montana.
The former president called Walz "freakish," intensifying the already heated political atmosphere.
Donald Trump paints dark picture of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz's victory
Donald Trump said, "Tim Walz is the man who’s very freakish, he’s very freakish."
“If Comrade Walz and Comrade [Vice President] Harris win this November, the people cheering will be the pink-haired Marxists, the looters, the perverts, the flag-burners, Hamas supporters, drug dealers, gun grabbers, and human traffickers,” the Republican presidential nominee added.
The crowd at the event responded to Trump's criticism of Harris and Walz with cheers and laughter.
Trump's remarks come just days after Harris announced Walz as her running mate, a decision that had been the subject of intense speculation.
Since her entry into the race, after President Joe Biden withdrew his candidacy, Harris has garnered significant enthusiasm and support from prominent Democratic figures.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz's campaign campaign hits back with 'weird' label
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz's campaign has not been shy about attacking Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen JD Vance (R-Ohio).
The campaign has leaned heavily on portraying Trump and Vance as "weird," a label that Trump has been quick to reject and turn back on his opponents.
Referring to Walz, Trump said, “Then he said, ‘You know, I think JD Vance is weird.’”
“You know, it’s a word that they use. I think he calls me that too. No, we’re not weird, we’re very solid people," the former president added.
Walz recently said at a rally in Philadelphia that he had "to say it."
“You know it. You feel it. These guys are creepy and, yes, just weird as hell. That’s what you see,” he said, according to The Hill.
“If Trump gets a chance to return, he’s going to pick up exactly where he left off four years ago. Only this time, it will be much, much worse,” the Minnesota governor added.
