Donald Trump calls Nancy Pelosi a ‘crazy B-‘ at latest campaign rally

Speaking at his last rally in the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump hinted at a profane insult to the former Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi.

“She’s a bad, sick, crazy b—,” Trump said before cutting himself off.

“It starts with a B,” he continued out loud, “but I’m not going to say that. I want to say it.”

Trump’s comments came during a campaign rally held after midnight on Tuesday, November 5, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The Washington Post reported that his campaign spokesman Steven Cheung, when asked about Trump’s comments, said Trump intended to say “brain dead.”

Trump’s comments about Pelosi were widely circulated on X and a video of his comments was posted by Kamala Harris’ campaign report.

Are not the first time on the campaign trail that Trump has used controversial language to refer to his critics. He named his main challenger the GOP Nikki Haley “birdbrain,” and has used several derogatory expressions to describe Harris, including calling her “dumb as a rock” and reportedly called her the R-word at a private dinner with billionaire donors.

On October 31, during his appearance on Tucker Carlson’s Live Tour, Trump suggested that former Rep. Liz Cheney face a firing squad.

Trump called Cheney, the daughter of the former vice president Dick Cheneya “war hawk,” before saying, “Let’s see how she feels about it… When the guns are pointed at her face.”
