In a fiery Friday evening rally in Bozeman, Montana, former President Trump took aim at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, referring to him as "freakish." The comment came just hours after Trump's plane was diverted due to mechanical issues, as he addressed a spirited crowd of supporters.

During his speech, Trump not only targeted Walz but also his Democratic running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris. He warned that if Walz and Harris were to win the upcoming November election, it would be celebrated by a wide range of groups. Trump claimed that the "pink-haired Marxists, looters, perverts, flag-burners, Hamas supporters, drug dealers, gun grabbers, and human traffickers" would be the ones cheering in victory.

This rebuke of Governor Walz follows Harris's announcement earlier this week, designating him as her vice presidential pick. It has been met with enthusiasm and support from prominent Democratic figures such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Michael Bennet, who praised Walz's commitment to ending child poverty.

Not one to shy away from a war of words, Trump fired back at Walz's previous characterization of him as "weird." The former president deflected the comment, asserting that he and his supporters were "very solid people" and suggesting that Walz used the term to describe him as well.

Walz, in a recent rally in Philadelphia, did not hold back in his assessment of the Trump-Vance campaign. He referred to them as "creepy" and "weird as hell," echoing the sentiments of many Democrats who view Trump and his allies in a similar light.

As the election campaign heats up, tensions are rising with each passing day. Both sides are using strong language and seeking to influence public opinion. The Hill reached out to the Harris campaign for a response but has yet to receive a comment.

It remains to be seen how these verbal sparring matches will impact the final outcome of the election. As voters weigh their options, the contrasting narratives presented by the Trump-Walz and Harris-Vance campaigns will be crucial for making an informed decision.

In the coming weeks, both candidates will continue to campaign tirelessly, seeking to win over voters and secure crucial swing states. The discussions and debates surrounding their character and policies will be closely watched by all interested parties, shaping the political landscape leading up to the November election.
