Former President Donald Trump made headlines on Friday as he used an event in Texas to attack Kamala Harris and discuss his favorite topic, immigration. While Harris was preparing to appear with Beyoncé in Houston, Trump accused her of spending time with “woke celebrities” instead of families affected by violence from migrants.
Both Trump and Harris took a brief break from their campaign travels to visit solidly Republican Texas, using the state to emphasize key issues like border security for Trump and abortion rights for Harris. Trump’s visit to Texas marked his second stop in a border state in two days, where he continued his harsh rhetoric against illegal immigration.
Despite Trump’s claims about immigrants, research has shown that immigrants, even those who entered the country illegally, are charged with fewer violent crimes compared to American citizens. Trump’s focus on immigration has been a central theme throughout his campaign, as he continues to spread false theories and attack his opponents.
In addition to his political remarks, Trump also sat down for an interview with Joe Rogan, enhancing his hypermasculine image in the public eye. The interview is set to be released on Saturday, adding another dimension to Trump’s controversial campaign strategy.
