Rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan with Governor Tim Walz. Tim Walz riles Michigan crowd as he criticized Trump's debate for saying "a lot of weird stuff"
In a Michigan rally, Tim Walz said Trump brought up "a lot of weird stuff" at the debate after he pushed a false rumor of Haitian immigrants eating cats in Springfield, Ohio, to which the rally crowd started to chant, "We do not eat cats!"
GRAND RAPIDS — Minnesota Gov. and Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz blasted former President Donald Trump’s performance in the recent presidential debate, telling an energized crowd at a Grand Rapids rally Thursday that Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, by contrast, presented a path forward for the country.
Before Thursday, Walz's and Harris' visits to Michigan had been limited to metro Detroit. In front of a crowd of hundreds at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, Walz said Trump is focused on enriching himself and others if he were to win a second term in the White House.
“He did not say one thing he would do to make life better for the American people,” said Walz. "On every single issue, Vice President Harris is standing on those issues with you and your family. It’s clear Donald Trump has no plan for you."
Walz brought up several moments from the debate, including one where Trump falsely claimed that illegal immigrants were eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio. The claim, which originated in social media circles, was quickly debunked by the debate’s moderators and has been rejected by local officials. Trump made the remark as he continues to attack Harris for the Biden administration's handling of the U.S. Southern border with Mexico.
Walz also criticized Trump for not condemning the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, as well as not saying he would veto a national abortion ban if Congress sent him such a bill.
“It would be funny, too, if it weren’t so dangerous,” Walz said of Trump’s rhetoric.
