Trump's name calling no longer works

Donald Trump is attacking Kamala Harris like it is the 1950s. He and his mouthpieces — most notably his vice-presidential running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance — are effectively arguing that the vice president, like other women, should know that her rightful place is in the home and not in the Oval Office.

Trump and his agents are also attacking Harris’ reputation as a sort of “fallen woman." On his Truth Social disinformation site, Trump recently shared misogynistic posts suggesting as much. If the Republican Party had any semblance of decency — which it has not shown for some time — Trump and his agents' disgusting attacks about Kamala Harris' intimate life would be utterly disqualifying.
