In a classic case of political hypocrisy, former President Donald Trump took a sharp jab at President Joe Biden during a recent visit to Howell, Michigan, a city that Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has bizarrely labeled as the “KKK capital of Michigan.” Trump made it clear that if Howell is the supposed hub of white supremacy, then Biden must have a lot of explaining to do, given his own visit to the town in 2021. The irony was not lost on the crowd, who reacted with boos whenever Biden’s name was mentioned.
During Trump’s speech, a reporter sought to draw a connection between Trump’s presence in Howell and accusations of racism stemming from Harris’s campaign. The reporter pointed out that Harris had criticized Trump’s visit due to the town’s alleged associations with white supremacy. Instead of being rattled, Trump turned the conversation back on the reporter, casually reminding everyone in the room that Biden had already set foot in Howell himself. The crowd erupted in laughter and disdain when the name “Biden” came up, showing that they aren’t fooled by the latest Democratic narrative.
Alyssa Bradley, the communications director for Harris’s Michigan campaign, joined the fray, attempting to paint Trump as the villain and Biden as the saint. Her over-the-top statement claimed that Trump wanted to return America to the days of the Ku Klux Klan, effectively throwing around accusations without any real evidence. All while claiming to prioritize safety and community over violent rhetoric. It seems Bradly missed the memo about political logic when spinning that flimsy narrative.
While Howell has admittedly had its historical ties to the Klan from decades ago, the city has been working diligently to shake off that tarnished reputation. However, that doesn’t stop the Democrats from using such allegations like a blunt instrument whenever they’re in need of something to distract from their own failures in governance. Leftists love to dredge up the past while conveniently ignoring the present realities of their own party.
What’s more absurd is how Harris’s campaign pointed fingers at Trump for not condemning certain protesters who claimed support for him while marching through Howell. This is a classic case of missing the forest for the trees; it’s almost comical how any instance of dissent or polite disagreement is suddenly labeled with the darkest brush. Meanwhile, protests seem to be a daily occurrence in the Biden era, often met with silence from the left.
Harris Campaign Accuses Trump of Speaking at ’KKK Capital of Michigan’

The spectacle of all this dark political theater is a distraction, and one has to wonder if the Democrats are overplaying their hand by trying to draw connections that simply don’t exist. After all, it was Biden, not Trump, who waltzed into Howell pushing a far-Left agenda. So, as Trump continues to emphasize his positions and his ability to draw a crowd, the Democrats are left scrambling, hoping that their narrative somehow manages to stick. It looks like they’ve got a long way to go before that happens.
