Donald Trump and JD Vance ended their presidential campaign not with a message of hope, but with the kind of misogynistic bile that has repelled women voters.
At one of his final rallies of the 2024 election—which was half empty because it seems voters are finally tired of his embarrassing circus—Trump launched an ugly attack on former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“She’s a crooked person, she’s a bad person, evil, she’s an evil, sick, crazy b-,” Trump said, mouthing the word “bitch” but not actually saying it out loud.
“It starts with a ‘B,’ but I won’t say it,” Trump added. “I wanna say it!”
Trump’s vice presidential running mate Vance, meanwhile, called Vice President Kamala Harris "trash."
It's the same kind of misogyny both men have exhibited throughout the race.
Trump, who bragged about taking away women's reproductive freedom multiple times, has wondered why women voters dislike him.
He said he'd protect them though, whether they like it or not—as if women need to be protected by a man held liable for rape and who bragged about grabbing women “by the pussy.”
In fact, Trump even reminded voters of that grotesque comment while he droned on at one of his low-energy rallies. At a rally in North Carolina on Monday, Trump was speaking about a SpaceX technology that caught a rocket reentering earth’s atmosphere, saying the mechanical arms “grab that thing like you grab your beautiful baby.”
Trump then added, “See? Much better. Years ago I would’ve said something else but I’ve learned. I would’ve been a little more risque.”
Vance, meanwhile, has denigrated women who do not have children, calling women like Harris "childless cat ladies" and saying that because they do not have kids, they should not have as much of a say in the future of the country.
Harris, meanwhile, ended her campaign with a series of uplifting rallies filled to the brim with excited supporters.
And while she has not played up the fact that she would make history as the first woman ever elected president, her closing ad paid tribute to her mother and the power of motherhood.
“Something cracks open inside you when you become a mother,” actress Viola Davis, who narrated the ad, says. “You realize long after you're gone, these children will be your legacy. This mother came to America at 19 years old. She stood five feet tall, but she stood tall. Becoming a cancer researcher, birthing two daughters, Kamala and Maya, and, with them, she birthed her legacy.”
Let’s solidify Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris’ legacy, making her the mother of the first female president in American history.
