Kamala Harris' Campaign Strikes Rawest Of Nerves For Donald Trump In Mocking New Ad

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign taunts former President Donald Trump over his fixation with the sizes of his crowds in a new ad.

The 30-second clip — titled “Crowd Size” — cuts footage of former President Barack Obama mocking his predecessor over the obsession, during his address at last month’s Democratic National Convention, with video of Trump talking about his crowds and less-than-busy Trump campaign events.

Watch the ad here:

“Here is a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago,” Obama said at the DNC.

“There’s the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd sizes,” Obama added, with a hand gesture that saw the audience erupt.

Harris’ campaign released the ad on Tuesday, the day of what could be the first and only presidential debate between the vice president and Trump.

One of the first of tens of thousands of mistruths that Trump peddled during his presidency was about the size of the crowd at his inauguration in January 2021.

Trump recently also falsely claimed Harris had used artificial intelligence to make a crowd that attended one of her rallies appear larger in images.
