Donald Trump has drawn ridicule and accusations of hypocrisy after accusing Kamala Harris of mistreating Mike Pence, the former vice-president who his supporters said should be hanged during the January 6 insurrection that he incited.
The Republican’s nominee’s comments came in an interview with Fox News, when he also singled out Harris’s 2018 cross-examination of Brett Kavanaugh during Senate confirmation hearings after Trump, then president, nominated him as a justice on the US supreme court.
. . .
Trump’s comments prompted a response from Harris’s campaign, which appeared to interpret it an example of age-related confusion and evidence that the former president, who is 78 and now the oldest presidential candidate in US history following Joe Biden’s withdrawal, is in mental decline.
that’s what she has us for.
I’m not opposed to mocking trump, I just don’t expect it directly from the campaign. So far they’ve mostly maintained plausible deniability. (like with the couch references.)
Campaigns that take the high road lose. It’s a strategy that doesn’t win over undecided voters.
