Former President Donald Trump has ignited a fresh wave of controversy with his latest verbal attack on Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her “a very low IQ person.” The inflammatory remark, made during a campaign rally earlier this week, has drawn sharp criticism from political opponents and fueled tensions as the 2024 election approaches.
Speaking to a crowd of supporters, Trump didn’t hold back as he questioned Harris’s intelligence and capability to lead. “Kamala Harris, I mean, let’s be honest—she’s a very low IQ person,” Trump stated. “She’s not smart enough to be in the position she’s in, and everyone knows it.”
Trump’s comments quickly went viral, drawing both cheers from his supporters and outrage from Democrats and political observers. For many, the remark is seen as part of Trump’s ongoing strategy to discredit Harris, who could potentially be his opponent in the upcoming presidential election. Harris, the first female Vice President and a key figure in the Biden administration, has been a frequent target of Trump’s barbs throughout her time in office.
In response to the former president’s remarks, Harris’s team issued a statement dismissing the attack as “desperate” and “completely baseless.” A spokesperson for the vice president said, “Trump’s comments reflect more on him than they do on Kamala Harris. She has proven herself as a capable leader, and this kind of childish name-calling only highlights Trump’s lack of substance.”
However, Trump’s supporters defended his remarks, praising him for speaking “truth to power” and continuing his no-holds-barred approach to political discourse. “He’s just telling it like it is,” one attendee at the rally said. “Kamala Harris has shown time and time again that she’s not fit for the job.”
The controversy over Trump’s comments has also reignited debates about the role of civility in politics, with some questioning whether personal attacks like these are becoming more normalized in the current political climate. Political analysts have noted that Trump’s strategy of using inflammatory rhetoric to galvanize his base is not new, but it remains highly effective in energizing his supporters.
“This is classic Trump,” one political expert remarked. “He thrives on this kind of language. It’s all about keeping his name in the headlines and controlling the narrative.”
Critics argue that Trump’s attacks on Harris, which have often focused on her intelligence and qualifications, are steeped in racial and gender bias. “It’s no coincidence that Trump frequently targets women of color in positions of power,” said a Democratic strategist. “He’s playing into a well-worn strategy of undermining their legitimacy.”
Despite the backlash, Trump’s camp has doubled down on the remarks, with his advisors suggesting that Harris’s performance as vice president has left her vulnerable to such criticisms. As the election season heats up, it’s clear that both Trump and Harris will continue to be central figures in the political spotlight.
