Donald Trump’s incendiary remarks that Kamala Harris “made a turn and she became a Black person,” took over social media Wednesday, but another odd comment he made later in the day at a campaign rally also raised eyebrows — and drew criticism.
During his campaign rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Trump relived the moments a would-be assassin’s bullet just nearly missed him while speaking in Butler earlier this month. Trump held a moment of silence for Corey Comperatore, the former fire chief killed during the rally, but not without adding his flavor of commentary.
“But you know? Corey’s wife said, ‘I’d rather have my husband.’ Isn’t that good? I know a lot of wives that would not say that, sorry.” Trump said, garnering laughs from the audience.
The seemingly off-the-cuff remark didn't sit well with critics on the social media app X.
