In the final hours before Election Day, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stirred controversy with a comment about his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump shared that he wanted to see Harris face off against professional boxer Mike Tyson in a ring, arguing that it would be ‚interesting‘ to see her get beat up. Many found the remarks shocking especially since Trump had previously positioned himself as a self-identified „protector of women.“
During a rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, the former president brought up the ex-heavyweight champion in response to a remark from the crowd. “He says, ‘Put Mike in the ring with Kamala.’ That will be interesting,” Trump said, as his supporters cheered in approval, as reported by HuffPost. Speaking of Tyson, Trump said, “Mike’s been through a lot, but he could fight. Let me tell you, that guy could fight,” as reported by Irish Star.
