Republican presidential candidate and former US president Donald Trump has once again stirred controversy with his remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaking at a campaign event in Atlanta, Trump labelled Harris as "a low IQ person," intensifying his attacks as the 2024 presidential race heats up.
During the rally, Trump addressed a crowd of supporters, focusing much of his speech on criticising Harris. He described her as "slow" and "lazy," and questioned her intelligence.
"She’s not a smart person, she’s a low IQ person. Millions of Americans are suffering because of inflation, they're losing their jobs, they can’t afford housing, groceries or a car and yet Kamala is importing millions of illegals across our borders and giving them taxpayer benefits at your expense," Trump said.
Kamala on the other hand has described Trump as a fascist, consenting to the same comment from the latter's long-serving White House chief of staff, John F. Kelly who posits Trump is going to return as a dictator if given a second chance.
Additionally, Harris told an enthusiastic audience during a CNN-hosted town hall meeting on Wednesday, October 23 that Trump's political ambition is to create a comeback for the 'enemies within'.
“He's going to sit there, unstable, unhinged, plotting his revenge, plotting his retribution, creating an enemies list,” Harris told an audience outside Philadelphia.
