Nikki Haley on Kamala Harris

Nikki Haley has condemned the sexist and racist attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that criticism should focus on her policies instead of her identity. Haley emphasized that the American public is more discerning than to engage in such attacks, urging discussions on Harris's record rather than her gender and race. The White House, represented by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, labeled these attacks as 'disgusting' and 'desperate,' asserting that Harris deserves respect given her role as Vice President and her experience. House Speaker Mike Johnson has called on Republican lawmakers to avoid identity-based criticisms of Harris, encouraging them to focus on her record. Former President Donald Trump has also targeted Harris in recent rallies, describing her as 'unfit to rule' and a 'radical left lunatic,' fueling further controversy. The discourse surrounding Harris has intensified as she solidifies her position as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
