Some Republicans distance themselves from Trump’s latest attack on Harris’ mental fitness

LA Times  

Republicans on Sunday sought to distance themselves from Donald Trump’s latest insults of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris during a rambling weekend rally in Wisconsin in which he called her “mentally disabled.” Trump escalated his personal attacks on the vice president during what was billed as a speech on immigration following Harris’ trip to the U.S.-Mexico border. “They’re crazy liberal.” When asked whether he approved of the remarks, Rep. Tom Emmer sidestepped during an interview on ABC’s “This Week.” “I think Kamala Harris is the wrong choice for America,” said Emmer, who is helping Trump’s running mate JD Vance prepare for Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate. “I think Kamala Harris is actually as bad or worse as the administration that we’ve witnessed for the last four years.” When pressed, Emmer said: “I think we should stick to the issues. “I’ve already called him out when he had the one interview where he was questioning her racial identity, and now he’s questioning her mental competence,” Hogan told CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “And I think that’s insulting not only to the vice president but to people who actually do have mental disabilities.” If elected, Harris would be the first woman, Black woman and person of South Asian descent to be president.
