Kamala Harris uses Migos rapper to slam Donald Trump as not 'walking the talk' on Mexico border as she dares the ex-president to debate her
Kamala Harris pulled a line from rapper Quavo Tuesday to try and turn the tables on Donald Trump for his criticism that she and President Biden have failed at the southern border.
She called out her 2024 presidential rival at a campaign rally in Atlanta as 'not walking it like he talks it' on illegal immigration.
With the Migos rapper in attendance - along with raunchy 'Savage' performer Megan Thee Stallion - the vice president also pushed her Republican rival to commit to one or more debates rather than continue to publicly call her names, challenging him to 'say it to my face.'
After statements from both performers, Harris attempted to turn the tables on the open borders argument by blaming Trump, leaning into her background as an attorney general in California, a state she was quick to remind attendees, shares a border with Mexico.
Kamala Harris had some pointed words for Donald Trump Tuesday at her Atlanta campaign rally, as she battled back claims that she has failed to secure the southern border.
Megan Thee Stallion was also in attendance, and emphatically told the crowd before providing a performance, 'We're about to make history with the first female president!'
'I went after transnational gangs, drug cartels and human traffickers that came into our country illegally,' Harris said.
'I prosecuted them in case after case, and I won,' she continued.
'Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been talking a big game about securing our border, but he does not walk the walk.
'Or as my friend Quavo would say, he's not walking it like he talks it,' she quickly added, in reference to the rapper's 2018 Migos hit, 'Walk It, Talk It.'
To bolster her point, Harris pointed to the prospective pressure Trump put on his Republican allies within the Senate this past January, when he reportedly told them to kill any border legislation that wasn’t 'perfect.'
Her comments appeared to come in reference to a recent ad being run by Trump's team, which focuses on Harris's questionable record when it comes immigration.
Branded a failed 'Border Czar', Harris went on to slam Trump's hesitance to debate as 'weird' - the most recent anti-GOP mantra being used by Harris and Democrats against the Trump-J.D. Vance ticket.
Quavo also took the podium to speak about prevailing gun violence, Harris used a line made famous by the rapper to suggest her Republican rival was a liar, citing who he commanded his allies to kill a bipartisan border bill earlier this just to make Joe Biden look bad, she said
She also referenced how Trump has called her 'crazy' and a 'bum' - criticisms she said would be better made face-to-face.
'I do hope you'll reconsider to [meeting] me on the debate stage, because as the saying goes, if you’ve got something to say, say it to my face,' Harris, 59, said shortly after taking the podium.
She went on to express her desire to win come November and unite the country in the process, while framing her conservative rival as a phony who 'does not care.'
At the time, many believed the decision was made to hinder the current commander-in-chief's biggest chance at reelection if the plan fell apart - which it inevitably did.
Moreover, the bill had been a compromise, drafted by Republicans and Democrats over the course of several months only to be tossed.
'He tanked the bipartisan deal because he thought it would help him win an election, which goes to show Donald Trump does not care about border security,' Harris said in response.
Harris, meanwhile also referenced how Trump has called her 'crazy' and a 'bum' in comments to the press - criticisms she said would be better made face-to-face
Before her performance of 'Body', Megan told the crowd: 'Now I know my ladies in the crowd love their bodies. 'If you want to keep loving your body, you know who to vote for.'
'So, one thing I learned about working with Vice President Harris is she always stand on business,' Quavo, meanwhile, declared, offering his endorsement on-stage
'He only cares about himself,' she further claimed, vowing to revive the bipartisan border bill if elected.
Aside from claiming Trump obliquely had the bipartisan border bill killed just to make Joe Biden look bad, Harris kept honing in on Trump's apparent reluctance to meet her in the proverbial ring.
With the election less than 100 days away, Trump had initially agreed to debate Harris, but more recently questioned the value of such a meetup as he remains ahead in most polls.
In an interview with Fox News that aired Monday, the candidate was pressed several times about committing, before giving a more free-form answer than he had in recent days.
'I want to do a debate,' he told Laura Ingraham.
There were 10,000 people cheering on the vice president as she trudged on in the Georgia State Convocation Center, trying desperately to bring the state of Georgia to her corner
'But I also can say this. Everybody knows who I am. And now people know who she is.'
He eventually said, 'The answer is yes, I’ll probably end up debating.'
This prompted Harris's campaign to brand the firebrand 'scared', an ode to his own open criticisms of fellow candidates on the debate stages back in 2015 and 2016.
When Harris brought this up, and how Trump had pulled out for a debate slated for September, the crowd booed.
'So he won't debate but he and his running mate have a lot to say about me,' she told onlookers, before offering her party's latest pandering buzzword after others - and trends on TikTok - failed to stick.
'And, by the way, don't you find some of their stuff to be just plain weird,' she said, before being met with uproarious applause.
The simple descriptor has become the new line of criticism against Republicans, and aside from being concise, it has resonated with Harris supporters.
It has also successfully framed divisive figures like JD Vance as not being the most privy to the needs - and fads - of young people.

'I am very clear. The path to the White House runs right through this state. We did it in 2020 and we're going to do it again in 2024,' she said, before rattling off her resume as a prosecutor, district attorney and attorney general of California.
'In those roles I took on perpetrators of all kinds, predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain so hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump's type,' she said.
'And I have been dealing with people like him my entire career.'
'Lock him up, lock him up,' the crowd demanded in response, their feet ponding on the bleachers.
Ahead of those remarks, a bevy of top Democrats in the state fired up the crowd, repeatedly reminding the attendees about Trump's attempts to overturn the election results in Georgia in the 2020 election.
Megan Thee Stallion was one of the first, telling onlookers 'We're about to make history with the first female president. The first black female president. Let's get this done honey.
She went on to sing 'Girls in the Hood,' 'Mamushi,' and 'Savage', and before her performance of 'Body', she told the crowd: 'Now I know my ladies in the crowd love their bodies.
'If you want to keep loving your body, you know who to vote for.'
Stacey Abrams, who has been one of Harris' most ardent defenders, was next, and received a standing ovation and shouts of 'Stacey' when she came out. Abrams, in turn, had the crowd shout 'Kamala, Kamala.'
She described Harris as someone who 'break barriers' in the White House, and noted how, in Georgia, 'we do the job of changing America and we're going to do it again.'
But it was Georgia's two Democratic senators - who handed the party control of the Senate - that reminded the crowd of Trump's actions in the last presidential race.

Senator Jon Ossoff told the crowd: 'Apparently Donald Trump is too scared to debate Vice President Karris.'
He added that the candidate who is too scared is the 'candidate who is losing.'
'Too scared,' the crowd yelled. 'Too scared.'
Ossoff also talked about Trump's attempts to overturn the election results in Georgia.
'Lock him up, lock him up,' the crowd yelled.
And Senator Raphael Warnock emphasized the state's importance in the race for the White House.
'Everyone knows the road to the White House goes through Georgia,' he said.
He noted others know it. 'As a matter of fact I heard a phone call. A Florida man, called into Georgia and said I need 11,000 votes,' he said, referring to Trump's phone call to the state's secretary of state in 2020.
The crowd roared with laughter and applause.
'Georgia – Donald Trump tried to steal your vote. Kamala Harris is trying to earn your vote,' Warnock said.
Quavo also spoke, addressing the prevailing problems surrounding high rates of gun violence. To emphasis his point, he also used a phrase ever-popular with Millennials and Gen-Z.
'If y’all don’t know me, I got by the name of Quavo. Born and raised in the North side of Atlanta, the home of the Migos,' he said.
'This city has always been home to me. From playing in the streets to, and you know, nurturing me to teaching me how to be the man that I am standing before you today.
'So, I mean one of the issues that I care about is resolving the gun violence,' he continued, after losing his nephew and Migos bandmate, Takeoff, to a Houston shooting in 2022.
'You can’t understand the struggles of gun violence if you not in the field or the heart of it.
'So, one thing I learned about working with Vice President Harris is she always stand on business,' he declared, offering his endorsement on-stage.
As for Harris, who was tasked with addressing the root causes of migration from Central America just months into her tenure with vice president, she qucikly brushed away Trump's characterization of her as a failed border czar - a title he himself created that she never held.
"Donald Trump does not care about border security — he only cares about himself," Harris insistd.
'As president, I will bring back the border security bill that Donald Trump killed, and I will sign it into law, and show Donald Trump what real leadership looks like," she said.
Her team has argued she was not in charge of border security but of handling the root causes of migration.
The rally, meanwhile, was Harris' largest campaign rally to date.
It marked her first appearance in Georgia since she locked up the Democratic presidential nomination, and saw her beat Trump to the punch in the key battleground state.
Trump and Vance will hold a campaign rally in Atlanta together on Saturday August 3, at the same location as Harris' rally.
Georgia played a crucial role in the last presidential election, and it is expected to be just as significant this time around. According to several polls released last week, it's a virtual toss-up between Harris and Trump.
Polls showed Joe Biden trailed Trump significantly in the state but Harris does much better against the former president.
She outperforms Biden among young people, Black voters, and Hispanic voters, key demographics that could decide swing states like Georgia and Arizona.

Biden only won the state by some 12,000 votes in 2020, a win heavily contested by Trump, who is currently in the midst of an election interference case in the state
Georgia is a top focus with less than 100 days to go before the election.
The Harris campaign noted it has 24 offices open in the state nd 170 staffers on the ground there.
'In Georgia, we're running the largest in state operation of any Democratic presidential campaign cycle ever,' campaign communications director Michael Tyler said.
While in the state Harris plans to attack Trump for his ties to Project 2025 – an initiative from the Heritage Foundation that promotes conservative polices – and for his position on abortion rights.
And while Harris focuses on Georgia, Trump will be focused on breaking the Democrats' blue wall.
He's holding a rally in Pennsylvania on Wednesday – his first visit back to the state since the assassination attempt on him in late June.
Harris had surrogates in Pennsylvania on Monday to counter Trump – the state's Governor Josh Shapiro and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmore. Both Democrats have been names as possible Harris running mates.
The Harris campaign also has had surrogates Georgia, as she weighs who to pick as her number two.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, who is reported to be a potential running mate, was in in the state on Sunday.
The Harris campaign is vetting him along with several other candidates, including Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona and Govs. Roy Cooper of North Carolina and Tim Walz of Minnesota.
She is expected to choose her vice presidential candidate by Aug. 7.
'Not yet,' Harris told reporters on Tuesday when asked if she's picked her running mate.
Harris' campaign noted it's held some 2,300 organizing events in battleground states this weekend as several high-profile Democrats on her potential VP list stumped for her.
With 98 days to go until Election Day, the Harris campaign is touting its fundraising and infrastructure, arguing it is well-positioned to beat Trump in November.
The campaign has taken in $200 million since Harris emerged as the likely Democratic presidential nominee last week.
Over 170,000 volunteers have also signed up to help the Harris campaign with phone banking, canvassing and other get-out-the-vote efforts.
