Over the course of President Trump’s time in office, he’s faced criticism from Democrats which pertains to various issues. Many on the left maintain that the president’s tweets and reactions towards critics are problematic. Democrats have also denounced antagonistic behavior in politics and preached about the merits of civility.
Despite the left’s censure of the president, they themselves have contributed to the hostility within the political climate. Over the weekend, 2020 hopeful Kamala Harris landed in hot water after one of her supporters referred to President Trump as “mentally retarded.” To be clear, Harris’ reaction to the statement and not the statement itself is what got her into trouble.
What Happened?
On Friday, Harris traveled to New Hampshire in order to rally with supporters at a town hall. During this time, Harris spoke to voters and campaigned on why she is the candidate they should support. At some point during this time, Harris took questions; this is the point where one of the attendees asked what she’d do about the president’s “mentally retarded” actions.
