Minnesota Governor Tim Walz recently spoke out against former President Donald Trump and Ohio Senator JD Vance for their comments on immigration during a rally in Durham, North Carolina. Walz accused Trump and Vance of spreading false conspiracy theories about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, and Aurora, Colorado, putting them 'at risk.'
Walz specifically referenced Trump's claims about Haitian migrants eating pets in Springfield, which were debunked during a Univision town hall. He criticized Vance for his unwavering support of Trump, stating that Vance's loyalty lies with the former president rather than the Constitution.
During the rally, Walz introduced former President Bill Clinton, who praised Clinton as 'the comeback kid' and highlighted his political acumen. Clinton, in turn, criticized Trump for perpetuating conspiracy theories, particularly regarding Hillary Clinton's email controversy during the 2016 election.
Bill Clinton emphasized the stark differences between Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump, portraying Harris as a more stable leader who would better serve middle-class families. He condemned Trump's focus on personal grievances and conspiracy theories, urging voters to consider a more rational approach to leadership.
Overall, the rally showcased a strong stance against the divisive rhetoric surrounding immigration and the need for responsible leadership in addressing complex issues facing the country.
