Donald Trump Labels Nancy Pelosi a ‘Crazy B-‘ During Final 2024 Campaign Rally
During his final rally of the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump hinted at a profane insult against former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“She’s an evil, sick, crazy b-,” Trump said, before cutting himself off.
“It starts with a B,” he continued out loud, “but I won’t say it. I want to say it.”
Trump’s remarks occurred at a campaign rally held after midnight on Tuesday, Nov. 5, in Grand Rapids, Mich.
The Washington Post reported that when asked about Trump’s comments, his campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said Trump was planning to say “braindead.”
Trump’s Pelosi comments were circulated widely on X and a video of his remarks was posted by Kamala Harris’ campaign account.
It’s not the first time on the campaign trail that Trump has used controversial language to refer to his critics. He nicknamed his GOP primary challenger Nikki Haley “birdbrain,” and has used several denigrating phrases to describe Harris, including calling her “dumb as a rock” and reportedly calling her the R-word at a private dinner with billionaire donors.
On Oct. 31, while appearing at Tucker Carlson’s Live Tour, Trump suggested that former Rep. Liz Cheney face a firing squad.
Trump called Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, a “war hawk” before saying, “Let’s see how she feels about it … When the guns are trained on her face.”
Both Cheneys, who are staunch conservatives, have been vocally anti-Trump since the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, having gone so far as to endorse Vice President Harris in the 2024 election.
Pelosi, the first and only female House speaker, is a longtime Trump critic and served as speaker during his last two years in office, when Democrats had control of the House of Representatives.
Violent rhetoric against Pelosi has previously endangered her and her family.
In 2022, a man who has cited a variety of conspiracy theories broke into Pelosi’s San Francisco house looking for her. Though Pelosi was in Washington, D.C., at the time, the intruder came across her husband and brutally beat him with a hammer. The attacker is now serving a life sentence in prison.
