Harris rips Trump over his 'garbage can' comments
Speaking to reporters before her event later today in Houston, Harris said she wanted to address Trump's comment that America has become a "garbage can" and "dumping ground" for migrants from around the world.
"You know, it's just another example of how he really belittles our country," Harris said. "This is someone who is a former president of the United States, who has a bully pulpit, and this is how he uses it, to tell the rest of the world that somehow the United States of America is trash."
"And I think, again, the president of the United States should be someone who elevates discourse and talks about the best of who we are and invest in the best of who we are, not someone like Donald Trump, who is constantly demeaning and belittling who the American people are," the vice president added.
Trump's comments are the latest example of his anti-immigrant rhetoric.
