Triggered ex-Trump spokesman lashes out against Harris campaign's 'weird schtick'

A triggered ex-spokesperson for Donald Trump lashed out at Kamala Harris for a quirky campaign tactic making national headlines.

Trump's former communications strategist Jason Osborne railed against the campaign on CNN Monday morning for its reliance on a word making national headlines: weird.

"You want to talk about weird," Osborne said, "let's talk about how every time that something doesn't go the Democrats' way, all of a sudden we want to change the rules."

Osborne argued Democrats' held stranger views than those of his former boss, who was convicted earlier this year of falsifying business records to cover up a scandal ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

Trump also faces criminal prosecution in Georgia and Washington D.C. on charges he tried to circumvent election regulations to illegally reclaim the White House in 2020.

"We want to get rid of the electoral college because the popular vote in 2016 favored Hillary Clinton, we want to change the Supreme Court because it just didn't go the way that they wanted it to," Osborne said. "I mean, I think that's more weird than anything else."

Harris' campaign has called Trump "old and quite weird" for Fox News "rants" during which he compared her to garbage, praised the Project 2025 platformhe has repeatedly tried to distance himself from and praised abortion bans.

"They're absolutely focused on the substance here," replied Rachel Palermo, Harris' former White House communications director. "But they're also pointing out certain things that frankly have been weird."

Harris has also called Trump's running mate Sen. J.D. Vance "weird" and "creepy" — attacks that have quickly spread among gleeful democrats.

Despite news that Harris raised $200 million in a single week, signed up more than 170,000 volunteers and polled above Trump in four key swing states over the weekend, Osborne argued that her "weird" strategy wasn't going to work.

"Trump has been kind of an anomaly in politics," Osborne said. "I don't think this weird schtick actually works."

Faced with Vance's various campaign foibles — which include inviting Jennifer Aniston's wrath, Kesha's wrath, Chelsea Handler's wrath, and a much-mocked endorsement of diet Mountain Dew — Osborne tried to equate him with Harris.

His point? Harris once talked about banning fracking.

Palermo noted the campaign has another message on the back burner.

"The contrast could not be more clear between Vice President Harris and Donald Trump," Palermo said. "She's a career prosecutor, he's a convicted felon."
