The 2020 US presidential election race continues to heat up, with verbal sparring between candidates becoming increasingly aggressive. In a recent interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan, former President Donald Trump continued his personal attacks against Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Trump, known for his fiery rhetoric, labeled Harris a ‘low IQ person,’ echoing earlier accusations of her being ‘lazy and stupid.’
This latest attack follows a pattern of Trump using inflammatory language to criticize his opponents. During the interview, Trump also expanded on his usual rally talking points, lambasting Harris’s policy proposals, particularly her plans for overhauling the tax system. He further reiterated his unsubstantiated claims of widespread election fraud in the 2020 presidential election, a topic he has repeatedly raised despite lacking any credible evidence.
Trump’s attacks on Harris have been met with condemnation from Democrats and many observers who view them as divisive and lacking in substance. They point out that focusing on personal insults rather than policy differences is detrimental to healthy political discourse. It remains to be seen how these attacks will affect the upcoming election and whether they will resonate with voters.
