Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday hurled a series of personal attacks at Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her “lazy” — a word long used to demean Black people in racist terms — and repeatedly questioning her intelligence and stamina.

At an event in Miami aimed at courting Latino voters, he said Harris was “lazy as hell” for not holding a campaign event. Trump’s comments ignored that Harris spent her day in meetings in Washington and recording interviews with Telemundo and NBC. He referred to the first woman of color to lead a major party ticket as “slow” and having a “low IQ.”

Later in the day during a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, he called Harris a “stupid person” and went on to ask: “Does she drink? Is she on drugs?”

Tuesday marked the first day in more than two weeks that Harris had no public events scheduled after a run of more than 14 consecutive days of travel to political events in pivotal states, including a three-state run on Monday, starting in Pennsylvania, continuing to Michigan and ending in Wisconsin.

    I would love it if he just skipped to the nbomb instead of waiting until the last minute, so it might actually negatively impact him.

      Are you kidding? With what he’s already said and done? Anyone still on the Trump train isn’t going to hop off for that. Most of them probably use it among themselves anyway. His supporters would eat that shit up.

        It isn’t about the MAGA idiots, it is about motivating everyone else as higher turnout increase the odds of the Dems winning.
