Former President Donald Trump praised a crude and sexist comment one of his rally-goers made about Vice President Kamala Harris in North Carolina on Saturday.
As Trump ranted about how he believes, without evidence, that Harris lied about working at McDonald’s in college, someone in the audience shouted, “She worked on a corner,” implying that Harris was a sex worker.
Trump stopped talking and laughed before pointing to the crowd.
“This place is great,” he said, cheering. “Remember, it’s other people saying it. It’s not me.”
According to Harris’ campaign, while attending Howard University in the summer of 1983, she worked at a McDonald’s in Alameda, California. Yet Trump doesn’t believe it, after expressing his skepticism during a campaign last month. stop at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, where he cooked fries and handed out food in the drive-thru.
Throughout his campaign, Trump and his supporters have waged sexist attacks against Harris. In July, Trump said that if Harris is elected, she would be “like a toy” to world leaders. Last week, the former president’s supporters paid for a billboard in Ohio that featured a fake photo showing Harris about to perform a sex act, along with the caption: “Kamala can’t talk right now.” She’s at a baby shower.’ The billboard was removed.
