Kamala Harris roasts hecklers with dig at Trump: You meant to go to smaller rally

US Vice President Kamala Harris shot down a group of hecklers at one of her campaign rallies in Wisconsin on Thursday. The incident occurred while she was slamming former President Donald Trump for his stand on abortion policies at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

When addressing the fight for abortion rights and criticising Republican candidate Donald Trump for his "hand-selection" of three Supreme Court Justices who helped end the Constitutional right to abortion in the US in 2022, Harris was interrupted by people in the crowd screaming "that's a lie!"

"Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally," Harris said, drawing roars from the crowd of supporters. "No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street," she added, with a video of her quip surfacing online.

The size of campaign rallies has been a topic of hot debate between the two presidential candidates. Trump has claimed on multiple occasions that the size of his rallies is significantly bigger than that of Kamala Harris's. Trump on several occasions has also claimed that Harris pays citizens to join her rallies.

"You will see during the course of his rallies he talks about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter. He will talk about windmills causing cancer. And what you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom," the vice president had earlier said.

"People don't go to her rallies. There's no reason to go. And the people that do go, she's busing them and paying them to be there," Trump had said in response, further calling his campaign rallies the "most incredible rallies in the history of politics".

Harris' stop at La Crosse was part of her campaign blitz in the swing state on Thursday. She also spoke at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee earlier in the day, where she was met with dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters who were demonstrating against the Vice President's support for Israel.

At another rally, she shared another video criticising Donald Trump for his views on "reproductive freedom". While criticising the former President, Kamala Harris played a clip in which the Republican Presidential candidate called himself the "father of IVF".

"First of all, no Donald, everybody did not want Roe v. Wade (Constitutional right to abortion) to be overturned. Women are dying of sepsis because they did not get the healthcare they need. It just gets more unbelievable sometimes. And now the man calls himself the 'father of IVF'. I mean, what does that even mean?" she asked.

She further said that it has become "increasingly clear" that Donald Trump has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to the healthcare of women in America. Her remark invoked laughter from the crowd, and she also shared a clip of her remark on X.

The US Presidential polls are slated to be held on November 5.
