Democratic nominee Kamala Harris was campaigning in Georgia on Saturday with early voting in the Peach State now underway and reportedly producing a record-breaking turnout.

Summoning her best southern black accent, the vice president told rallygoers that if 100-year-old former President Jimmy Carter can cast a vote, so can they — Carter cast his 2024 mail-in ballot on Wednesday, according to the Carter Center.

Harris laughingly placed her hands on her hips and crowed, “If Jimmy Carter can vote early, you can too!”

A clip of Harris’ remarks was shared on social media alongside recent video footage of a very frail Carter — her trademark cackling setting just the right tone.

NEW: Kamala Harris tells her rally audience that if Jimmy Carter can vote early, so can they.

While grandson Jason Carter admitted to the New York Times last month that the former president is “very, very physically diminished,” son Chip Carter claimed his father was very focused on casting a ballot for Kamala Harris, even more so than his recent birthday.

“He said he didn’t care about that. It’s just a birthday. He said he cared about voting for Kamala Harris,” Chip reportedly said.

The recent video footage of the 100-year-old Democrat would challenge that suggestion.

“This is horrible. It was appalling when they displayed Carter in this manner and now for her to be joking about it is just vile,” conservative pundit Tammy Bruce said in response to Harris.

Here’s a sampling of other responses to the story, as seen on X:

I watched my mother die last year after a 7 year bout with Alzheimer’s. She looked exactly like this.

I can’t imagine exploiting her vulnerability like this. It is shameful.

It’s more than vile. It’s abuse. Her flaunting it reveals that she is nothing more than a harlot of the establishment.

Carter deserved more than this.
We could expect nothing less from Kamala.

The Carter Family never should have allowed it. But the DNC and Kamala will do ANYTHING to win, even parade a man on his death bed.

It is absolutely disgusting. She is a horrible person.

Jimmy Carter has no idea who Kamala Harris is.

— Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman) October 20, 2024

Jimmy Carter is not competent to vote. The idea that Kamala Harris is using his almost dead corpse as an example of what should be happening is disgusting
