‘Too Scared! Too Scared!’ Crowd Taunts Trump At Kamala Harris Rally Over Debate Reluctance

The crowd at a Vice President Kamala Harris for President rally taunted former President Donald Trump with chants of “Too Scared!” after Trump said he could “make a case” for skipping debates.
Immediately after VP Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden’s bombshell dropout, Trump’s campaign announced it would not commit to the debates that had already been scheduled.
Trump himself has waffled, telling reporters last week “Oh, yes, absolutely. I’d want to,” then telling Fox News this week “I can also make a case for not” debating Harris but “I’ll probably end up debating.”
Harris and her allies have been taunting Trump about debating her, including at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia Tuesday night. Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) took the stage ahead of the candidate, and whipped up the crowd by claiming Trump is afraid to face Harris:
SEN. JON OSSOFF: No. On the plane down here. Senator Warnock and I were talking about this. I don’t know if y’all heard about it, but apparently Donald Trump is too scared to debate the vice president!
(jeers, cheers)
Too scared!
CROWD: TOO SCARED! TOO SCARED! TOO SCARED! TOO SCARED! TOO SCARED! TOO SCARED!
SEN. JON OSSOFF: I don’t know if you all remember this from back in 2020, but I know about having an opponent who’s too scared to debate!
And let me tell you, Atlanta the candidate dodging debates is the candidate who is losing. Right now,Donald Trump is imagining how it will feel to stand up facing a formidable, prepared, tough as nails prosecutor, U.S. Senator, vice president of the United States!
He’s not prepared to defend his record because he cannot defend his record!
The VP would later challenge Trump directly during her speech, imploring him to show up and “say it to my face!”
