Two Republican strategists, one of them an adviser to former president Donald Trump, have condemned their party’s “gratuitous” and “offensive” attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris for not having biological children, arguing it’ll blow their chances with women voters in November.
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was the latest GOP official to make the baffling charge that having stepchildren is somehow a knock on Harris’ character, and did it with Trump by her side at a rally in Michigan Tuesday.
“My kids keep me humble,” she told the crowd. “Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.” Huckabee Sanders also mispronounced Harris’ first name, something Trump has repeatedly and deliberately done.
