Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called Kamala Harris a “b----” in private, according to a report by The New York Times, as the former president’s polling numbers plunge, and his campaign struggles to stick to an attack strategy against the sitting vice president.

In a statement to NYT, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said “that is not language President Trump has used to describe Kamala, and it’s not how the campaign would characterize her.”

However, sources close to Trump told NYT that he has called Harris out of her name on multiple occasions—frustrated by her campaign’s control of the news cycle over the last three weeks.

      Agreed, I really like the bot. Lemmy can be kind of a left wing echo chamber and as someone on the left I try really hard to remind myself of the range of perspectives that exist outside of this space

      The additional context is super helpful. It’d be super cool if it also linked alternative sources like one of the lemmy apps does.

      I think I’d rather see it at the very bottom of every thread. downvotes won’t lead to it getting shadowbanned

      As long as it keeps spamming links to a paid news site, I’m going to keep downvoting it.

      But I upvoted you for engagement.
