Former President Trump accused his opponent Vice President Kamala Harris of "running a hate campaign" against him Friday at a rally in Traverse City, Michigan.
FOX NEWS -- The Republican nominee took aim at Harris after she and other Democrats have repeatedly called him a "fascist" on the campaign trail.
"You know, I think they're calling me a dictator," Trump said. "So they started off where I was a dictator. None of it worked. Then they went to: ‘He’s an evil genius.’ That didn’t work. Then they went: ‘He’s a dumb son of a bitch.’ That didn’t work. That didn’t last too long. Then they went back to the dictator stuff,” Trump said.
“Those poor people, those poor lost souls – they're like lost souls. They're radical left lunatics, Democrats. And they all suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome at a level."
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., released a relatively rare joint statement on Friday, demanding Harris cease using "dangerous rhetoric" and reminding her of the two recent assassination attempts against Trump.
But Harris has so far ignored her GOP critics and continues to warn of "the danger and the threat that Donald Trump poses to America and the fact that he is unfit to serve" on the campaign trail.
