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.
The moment someone goes ad hominem, they lose all credibility with their educated interlocutors. Sadly the base just likes the angry screeds.
I’ve learned a new word today. Thank you.
The word I always forget. lol.
English is my second language, btw, that’s why I’m saying all this.
