Nicolle Wallace on Vance calling Harris 'trash:' 'You just effed up'

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace said Monday that Ohio Sen. JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, “effed up” by calling Vice President Harris “trash.”

“In my humble view, lights out,” Wallace said on “Deadline: White House."

“Women — you can disagree with us. We’ve actually learned to take it for our whole careers, all the time, in every forum. But you call us trash? Oh, oh, oh, JD Vance, you just effed up in a way I’ve never seen in my political life, and I worked for Sarah Palin,” Wallace added.

“I mean, what just happened?”

While rallying supporters in Atlanta earlier Monday, Vance said that “in two days, we are gonna take out the trash in Washington, D.C., and the trash’s name is Kamala Harris.”

Vance was riffing off of recent comments from President Biden in which he appeared to call former President Trump’s supporters garbage. Vance said earlier in his Atlanta appearance that Harris’s “boss, just a couple of days ago, said — not just a criticism of Donald Trump or of me — but said that the people who support Donald J. Trump are ‘garbage.’”

Biden said last week in a post on the social platform X that his comment was referring to the "hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage — which is the only word I can think of to describe it.”

Vance’s remarks came one day before Election Day, with polling in multiple swing states very tight and Harris and Trump now tied in an average of national polls from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ at 48.4 percent support.

“With mere hours until the polls close, of course the liberal media is clutching its pearls on this while ignoring Biden for calling half the country garbage,” Vance spokesperson Taylor Van Kirk said in an emailed statement to The Hill on Tuesday. “They can’t seem to wrap their heads around the fact that hardworking, intelligent women actually support the Trump-Vance ticket! They need to go touch some grass.”

The Hill has reached out to Palin.
