Trump reportedly used the r-word in a rant against Kamala Harris he made during a recent fundraising event at Mar-a-Lago.
From Raw Story:
Former President Donald Trump spent a recent dinner for billionaire Republican donors at his Trump Tower penthouse complaining they hadn’t done enough to help his campaign, according to a new report.
The ex-president also called Vice President Kamala Harris “retarded,” which the Special Olympics has described as “a form of hate speech,” the New York Times reported Saturday.
For good measure, Trump also slipped in some antisemitic tropes, complaining that Jewish Americans should “have their heads examined” for wanting to vote for Harris instead of him.
“The rant, described by seven people with knowledge of the meal who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations, underscored a reality three weeks before Election Day: Mr. Trump’s often cantankerous mood in the final stretch,” The New York Times reported.
This is unacceptable behavior from Trump that’s, for some reason, not yet being widely reported, much less being discussed as a disqualifying trait for someone hoping to be in the White House. If this is his temperament as a candidate — if he has to resort to petty name-calling using hateful slurs to get his “point” across — imagine how he would behave with world leaders, politicians in Washington, media, and so on, for the next four years as president.
