*Given his history, it’s no surprise that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday reposted a lewd social media remark about Vice-President Kamala Harris. This act is the latest in a series of demeaning attacks from Republicans against Trump’s current Democratic rival.
The remark, which was initially posted by another user on Truth Social, depicted a picture of Harris alongside Trump’s 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton. The user commented, “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently…” This appears to be a reference to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, whom Harris briefly dated over two decades ago. It is a recurring narrative among right-wing circles that Brown played a role in Harris’s political ascent. The jab at Hillary Clinton references her husband, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, and his widely publicized affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky in the 1990s.
As of this posting, neither the Trump campaign nor the campaigns of Harris, Willie Brown, Hillary Clinton, or Bill Clinton have offered any comments regarding the post.
Trump’s decision to amplify this offensive post surfaces amid a barrage of racist and sexist attacks directed at Harris, who is the first woman and the first Black and South Asian person to hold the office of U.S. Vice President.
Since replacing President Joe Biden atop the Democratic ticket, Harris has experienced a surge in the polls, securing a lead against Trump in most recent national surveys.
Despite this shift, Trump has shown difficulties in adjusting to the new race dynamics, often referencing Biden as his opponent, even though Biden is not running for re-election. Trump has continually used derogatory terms to describe Harris, calling her “crazy,” “nuts,” and “dumb as a rock.” Furthermore, Trump has falsely claimed that Harris has downplayed her Black heritage.
Some of Trump’s donors and advisers are urging him to focus more on policy critiques of his rival, cautioning that personal attacks could undermine his outreach to Black voters.
Members of the “Black Americans for Trump” coalition have specifically warned that derogatory remarks about Harris might damage his campaign’s effectiveness in engaging with Black communities Trump has persisted in defending his use of personal attacks, despite past controversies. Notably, last year, Trump was found liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll, an allegation he has continually denied.
As the presidential race intensifies, Trump’s strategy of personal attacks is under scrutiny, with critics and allies alike debating its effectiveness and ethical implications. Whether these tactics will resonate with voters or backfire remains to be seen.
