Donald Trump’s MAGA supporters tried to crash Vice President Kamala Harris’ rally at the University of Wisconsin at La Crosse on Thursday, and the Democratic presidential nominee burned them.

When the commotion started, Harris smiled at the disrupters and said, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally.”

As the crowd roared, Harris readied the punchline:

“I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”

The crowd erupted again as Harris laughed and waved the protesters goodbye.

Harris has been needling Trump about his rally sizes for months, and she got under Trump’s skin in their debate when she challenged people to attend his rallied.

“I’m gonna invite you to attend one of Donald Trump’s rallies because it’s a really interesting thing to watch,” she said. “He talks about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter. He will talk about windmills cause cancer. And what you will also notice is people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom. And I will tell you the one thing you will not hear him talk about, is you.”

Trump was clearly upset by the comment.

“She said people start leaving. People don’t go to her rallies,” Trump said. “So she can’t talk about that. People don’t leave my rallies.”

It’s been a forceful week for Harris, who made a strong showing in an interview with 60 Minutes and stiff-armed Fox News anchor Bret Baier in a contentious interview with the Trump-friendly network while landing severe body blows on Trump — all while pointing out that Trump pulled out of his 60 Minutes interview, canceled an appearance on CNBC and refused to meet her in a second debate.

Harris is spending most of her days trying to shore up support in the “blue wall” states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin as she tries to avoid a repeat of Hillary Clinton’s collapse there eight years ago.

Her schedule reflects the Democratic nominee’s focus on her most likely path to victory over Republican candidate Donald Trump. Harris’ campaign says she’s not ceding ground in Sun Belt states like North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada even though most of her time is spent elsewhere.

The vice president campaigned at a hockey rink on Monday in Erie, Pennsylvania, where she denounced Republican candidate Donald Trump as “unhinged.” She visited an art gallery in Detroit with actors Don Cheadle, Delroy Lindo and Cornelius Smith. Jr. on Tuesday, then recorded a radio town hall with Charlamagne tha God.

On Wednesday, Harris was back in Pennsylvania to stress allegiance to the Constitution as she stood just steps from the banks of the Delaware River, where George Washington crossed with his troops in a pivotal moment of the Revolutionary War.

Her pace doesn’t let up for the rest of the week.

Harris is headed back to Milwaukee Thursday as she seeks support from college-age voters.

She’ll drop by a business class at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, then hold a student rally at University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. She closes out the day with a rally in Green Bay.

The vice president is expected to hold meet-and-greets in Michigan on Friday. She then campaigns in Detroit on Saturday.

Mark Cuban says Trump’s tariffs proposal would make holiday gifts cost more

Mark Cuban is telling supporters of Kamala Harris at a rally Thursday that Donald Trump used to be “a little bit coherent.”

“But I don’t know what happened to him,” said Cuban, an owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and celebrity investor on “Shark Tank.”

The rally is at Recreational Eagle Center, the main sports and recreation facility on the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse campus. The school has about 9,400 undergraduates and about 930 graduate students. A large sign on one end of the arena reads, “A New Way Forward for La Crosse.”

Cuban warned the crowd that if Trump was elected in November, his tariffs proposal would make holiday gifts cost 60% more than they are now.

“You won’t be able to afford the presents you want for your family and friends,” he said. The choice, he said, is to elect Harris.

Weird, she didn't call for them to be "knocked the hell out" or tell police to be "rough with them". Almost like she can take criticism like an adult and also stands up for free speech instead of just threatening those who speak against her with violence.
