Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris' record on border security.
Vance delivered a scathing review of Harris' time in office during a North Carolina campaign rally on Monday night.
“Our message to Kamala Harris is how dare you call people a racist for wanting to close down that wide-open border,” Vance began. “Our message to Kamala Harris is how dare you call the citizens of your own country ‘bad people’ because they don’t want a flood of illegal migration in their country.”
“Kamala Harris, how dare you attack the citizens of your own country for not wanting their children to die of fentanyl overdoses,” he continued. “Kamala Harris, how dare you call the citizens of your own country ‘bad people.’ You're a bad person for causing this border crisis. We are not bad people for complaining about it.” @JDVance GOES OFF IN NORTH CAROLINA: "Our message to Kamala Harris is, HOW DARE YOU call people racist for wanting to close down that wide-open border...

Trump's running mate then took aim at Harris' record on the economy throughout her nearly four years in President Joe Biden's administration.
“To Kamala Harris: we have one final message on the economy and I’ve got some advice for you, Kamala, on how to answer this question about your specific plans," he continued. "No more word salad about how you grew up in a middle-class family. Unleash American energy and unleash American workers." .@JDVance: "To Kamala Harris, we have one final message on the economy and I have some advice for you on how to answer this question -- No more word salad about how you grew up in a middle class family.

“That’s how you open up this country, and that’s how you lower prices for American citizens," Vance declared.
Last week, Harris sat with Oprah Winfrey and answered questions from voters. However, when asked to detail her plan to lower inflation, Harris instead commented on the unattainability of the American Dream. This is why Kamala’s handlers keep her away from the media. pic.twitter.com/r6vbXd4cO5 “In terms of both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams and ambitions for your family and working hard and finding that the American Dream is for this generation and so many recently far more elusive than it’s been, and we need to deal with that,” she said. Vance is slated to face off against Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, on Oct. 1 for a debate, which will be hosted by CBS News moderators Margaret Brennan and Norah O’Donnell.
