Donald Trump is once again scrounging for ways to disparage Kamala Harris’ campaign, thanks to a recent comment he made on Truth Social.
Trump’s officially gone the sexist route by posting a photo of Harris standing next to Hillary Clinton with a caption that read, “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently…”
Confirmed by the New York Times, it insinuates that Harris, who dated San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown in the 1990s, gained her political prowess and power from that relationship and not on her own merit.
The sexist remark was one of the first angles the Republicans tried to push after they could no longer linger on Joe Biden’s cognitive ability after mounting pressure caused him to drop out and put Harris atop the ticket.
Right-wing commentator Megyn Kelly even spouted the rumor in July when Matt Walsh accused her of such and said she was only a VP because Biden needed women of color to ensure his victory in 2020.
A commenter called the remark sexist, and Kelly fired back, tweeting, “Disagree. She actually did sleep her way into and upwards in California politics and most women (and men) may learn that and see it for what it is: evidence of an unqualified political aspirant getting ahead based on smthg other than merit. It’s relevant, and fair game.”
In Trump’s endorsement of the comment, he also disrespected Clinton. Still, instead of downplaying her political accomplishments for who she sleeps with, he referred to her husband, former President Bill Clinton’s extramarital acts with then-aid Monica Lewinsky.
Trump’s latest outburst comes as Harris surges ahead of him in the polls, 48%-43%, an eight-point turnaround partially thanks to the electric energy at the Democratic National Convention.
