Trump Intensifies Personal Attacks on Kamala Harris, Drawing GOP Criticism
In recent campaign speeches, former President Donald Trump has ramped up his personal attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, labeling her 'mentally disabled' and 'mentally impaired' in a series of contentious remarks. His rhetoric has faced backlash not only from Democrats but also from within the Republican Party, with some members condemning his insults regarding Harris's mental fitness as 'outrageous and unacceptable.' Critics, including prominent Republicans like Sen. Lindsey Graham, have attempted to clarify or distance themselves from Trump's statements, while others have labeled his rhetoric as increasingly dark and disturbing. Trump's comments come as he seeks to highlight immigration issues and link Harris to alleged failures in border management. The debate continues as GOP members express discomfort with Trump's approach, aiming to balance party loyalty and concerns over the impact of such rhetoric in the lead-up to the upcoming election.
