Donald Trump Jr. mocked Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman as 'brain dead' on Sunday when he took the stage in Miami at his father's Make America Great Again rally.

It's the third rally the former president is hosting in three days and his second-to-last before the contentious midterm elections on Tuesday, November 8.

During his warm-up remarks, Donald Jr. attacked Democrats for rising crime rates throughout the country, including Fetterman for his tenure as mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania.

Like many Republicans, he also suggested Fetterman was not up to the job of senator because of the auditory processing and speech issues he was left with after suffering a stroke in May.

'The Democrats want to release violent offenders,' Donald Jr. said, including 'John Fetterman, the brain dead potential senator from Pennsylvania.'

The crowd standing outdoors at the Miami-Dade County Fair & Exposition Center booed the populist progressive's name.

Junior later returned to his comments about Fetterman, 'We need to overwhelm the nonsense to speak about what we're up against. I mean, I used the Fetterman example earlier.'

He referenced similar comments he made in late October. 

'I believe that if you're going to be in the United States senator, you should have basic cognitive function,' Donald Jr. said.

'The media, they go after me, they say he's an ableist, meaning he's racist against those with disabilities.'

He continued, 'It's not like he's in a wheelchair, and he can think, but he's incapable of forming a sentence.'

It comes after Fetterman accidentally said he was against abortion at a Saturday rally in Philadelphia. 

'I run on Roe v. Wade. I celebrate the demise of Roe v. Wade,' the Pennsylvania lieutenant governor said.

Donald Jr. referenced the incident at his rally, opining, 'They'll put him in there to vote however Chuck Schumer tells him to. You don't have to think, you just have to be able to, like, show up and, like, raise your hand.'

'And his comments on Roe v Wade yesterday doesn't seem like he even can do that right,' he said.

'We're up against a Democratic Party today that doesn't believe that a United States senator should not have mush for brains.'

Fetterman, who is going head-to-head with celebrity doctor Dr. Mehmet Oz, may well have been trying to say his opponent 'celebrates the demise of Roe v. Wade.'

Fetterman and his Republican rival have been neck-and-neck in the bitterly fought race, but his performance when it comes to public speaking has drawn concerns after a number of garbled answers, much of which has been blamed on his recovery from his stroke.
