Donald Trump Wants To Say This ‘Really Gross’ Thing About Kamala Harris, Says Chris Hayes

MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes on Tuesday dissected Donald Trump’s apparent struggle ― at least so far ― to launch an effective line of attack against his Democratic 2024 rival Kamala Harris.

“All he wants to do is talk about Kamala Harris’ race, gender and identity, but that’s really gross, and people don’t like it,” Hayes told “Late Night” host Seth Meyers of the GOP nominee.

“There’s some part of him that understands it’s not the winning attack on her,” Hayes continued. Trump really just wants to say that Harris is “really dumb” and “a dumb Black woman” over and over, Hayes added.

“It’s gross, and I think it’s offensive to folks,” Hayes explained, “and I think even people who don’t necessarily consider themselves particularly dyed-in-the-wool progressives recognize it for what it is, and I do think it really has confounded him.”
