Trump Hits Back After Harris Campaign’s Attack on ‘KKK Capital’ Visit
Former President Donald Trump responded sharply to recent criticism from Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign regarding his visit to Howell, Michigan, a city that has been labeled by Harris’s team as “the KKK capital of Michigan.”
During a recent speech in Howell, Trump was confronted by a reporter who asked him to address the Harris campaign’s claims about his presence in the city. The campaign had criticized Trump for visiting a location linked to white supremacy.
Trump’s retort was immediate and pointed. “Who was here in 2021?” he asked the reporter, prompting boos from the crowd. When the reporter responded that President Joe Biden had visited Howell, Trump simply replied, “Thank you.”
Reporter: Kamala attacked you for being in Howell, Michigan because it's associated with white supremacy.
Trump: "Who was here in 2021?
Reporter: "Joe Biden"
Trump: "Thank you."

The Harris campaign did not hold back in their criticism of Trump. Alyssa Bradley, communications director for the Harris campaign in Michigan, issued a scathing statement condemning Trump’s visit to Howell. She accused Trump of wanting to take the country “back to the days of the KKK,” framing the visit as a stark choice in the upcoming election.
Additionally, Bradley criticized Trump for not condemning a June protest in Howell where demonstrators reportedly chanted “white supremacist slogans” and expressed support for Trump, including disturbing chants such as “We love Hitler. We love Trump.”
