Lara Trump, the Co-Chair of the Republican National Committee, compared Vice President Kamala Harris to a designer purse that was “literally a trash bag” during recent comments on the state of the presidential race.
In the past week, Republicans and right-wing media have been experimenting with strategies to attack Harris, who emerged as the presumptive nominee after President Joe Biden halted his reelection campaign following a dismal debate performance against former President Donald Trump.
During her appearance on Monday’s Hannity on Fox News, Lara Trump was questioned regarding the strategy that Republicans should employ to defeat Harris.
“And as we go through her record, it is, by far the most radical record of anybody that has ever run for the office of the presidency. I would argue, in 98 days, it is the job of the Republican Party and the Trump campaign to make sure every American knows this record, backwards and forwards. That would be the winning formula to me.” Trump said.
“Sean, you’re exactly right because look, I think we very clearly have seen the mainstream media, and the folks out there are not gonna do it for us. In fact, they’re trying to rewrite history. It’s been incredible to see the way they have tried to prop up Kamala Harris and really sell her as some sort of– this amazing political figure to the American people.” he continued.
Trump subsequently mentioned that the Democrats’ endeavors to bolster Harris’s campaign reminded her of a costly purse.
“It reminds me of– there was a bag that a very famous designer designed. This was several years ago, and it literally was a trash bag, but they sold this thing for like $2000 thinking that people will actually buy it. It’s a similar situation with Kamala Harris. Nobody was interested in Kamala Harris even several months ago.” she remarked.
