Former President Donald Trump has sparked controversy by sharing crude images of Vice President Kamala Harris on Truth Social, including one implying she traded sexual favors for political gain. This has drawn significant backlash from pundits and journalists, who describe the remarks as misogynistic and reflective of a troubling trend in political discourse. Trump’s actions were criticized by CNN's Anderson Cooper, who noted the pattern of Trump attacking women who oppose him. Meanwhile, Vice presidential candidate JD Vance defended Trump's visit to Arlington National Cemetery, where a dispute occurred, and criticized Harris for her role in the Afghanistan withdrawal, stating she has not taken responsibility for the deaths of 13 service members. Vance's remarks have also faced criticism from both sides of the political spectrum for their inflammatory nature. These incidents highlight the ongoing challenges of maintaining civility in political communication amid the rise of social media.
