Trump steps up personal attacks on Harris, calls her ‘flawed’
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has launched a fresh personal attack on his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, calling her “flawed” after her first major interview with CNN after becoming her party’s presidential nominee on Thursday.
Speaking at the Moms for Liberty national summit in Washington DC on Friday, Trump commented on Harris’ interview, saying, “I think it would be better if she would just do interviews, even if they were not good, but better … because now everybody is watching and now we see that she is flawed.”
Harris, 59, of Indian and African descent, is the Democratic Party’s candidate in the upcoming November 5 presidential election, where she will take on 78-year-old Trump.
During his address, Trump also referred to Biden’s performance in the presidential debate in June, saying Biden was “like a tart,” and expressed disappointment at spending millions behind the wrong person during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last month.
“By the way, he’s a Marxist; people are finding that out,” Trump said. “Totally Marxist. His father is a Marxist. I think he teaches economics from a Marxist perspective. He taught him well.”
Trump has consistently launched personal attacks on Vice President Harris, especially as she has risen to political prominence in recent weeks since rising to the top of the Democratic ticket. He has previously denounced her physical appearance and claimed she is “a lot better looking than him.” Earlier this month, Trump claimed he is “entitled” to attack Harris personally because he “doesn’t have a lot of respect for her,” and has also questioned her racial identity.
In response to Trump’s comments, Harris shrugged off comments he made about her race during the CNN interview, saying, “Same old, worn-out tactic. Please ask the next question.”
