“Joe Biden has become mentally retarded. Kamala was born that way,” Trump said and added that “something is wrong” with US presidential candidate Harris.

It is noted that the former governor of the state of Maryland from the Republican party, Larry Hogan, who is currently running for the Senate, came out with “stronger criticism” of Trump’s statement.

I think it’s insulting not only to the vice president, but to people who are truly mentally disabled. I’ve said for years that Trump’s divisive rhetoric is something we can do without,

South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham, however, dismissed Trump’s remarks and said he did not think Harris was crazy. He supports this opinion regarding the candidate’s policy.

I just think the better course is to prosecute the case that her policies are destroying the country,

Minnesota Republican Tom Emmer also tried to distance himself from Trump’s personal attacks: “I think we should continue to look at the issues.”
