‘We’re f-cking Philly’: Trump gets slammed for blue-city insults
Donald Trump seems to think he can win swing states by insulting their biggest cities—but Kamala Harris’ campaign aims to wield his own words against him in two new campaign ads.
The ads, titled “Philly vs. Trump” and “Milwaukee vs. Trump,” highlight how Trump called Milwaukee a “horrible city” and Philadelphia a place where “bad things happen.” But the ads don’t just fight back. They aim to rally their communities in support of Harris.
The Philadelphia ad features images of the Liberty Bell, fictional boxer Rocky Balboa in the ring, and Eagles fans hitting the streets after their team’s win in Super Bowl LII.
“Philly tough is different. They insult us, they don’t like us—we don’t care,” the ad says. “Because here’s the thing that people like Donald Trump don’t understand: We’re Philly, f-cking Philly, and when you fight us, we fight back. From 1776 to 4th and 26, so go ahead, talk whatever sh-t you want, Donald. We’re voting soon.”
The ad played during Sunday's Philadelphia Eagles football game. The Harris-Walz campaign has spent its final weeks traveling throughout Pennsylvania, arguably the most important battleground state in the presidential election.
