Vice President Kamala Harris expressed strong disapproval of former President Donald Trump's recent comments made at a rally in Wisconsin. Trump stated that he would protect women whether 'they like it or not,' a remark that Harris deemed offensive to women and the general population.
Harris emphasized the importance of women's agency, authority, and right to make decisions about their own lives, including their bodies. She highlighted Trump's comment as part of a pattern that reveals his views on women and their autonomy.
Addressing reporters in Wisconsin, Harris linked Trump's statement to the ongoing debate around abortion rights, particularly in light of recent legal restrictions imposed by some states following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
During the rally, Trump mentioned that his advisers had cautioned him against expressing his desire to protect women, deeming it inappropriate. Despite the advice, Trump asserted his commitment to safeguarding women, citing concerns about issues such as immigration and national security.
Harris condemned Trump's remarks as disrespectful and reiterated the importance of respecting women's choices and freedoms. She underscored the need for policies that uphold women's rights and ensure their protection.
