Happy Monday everyone.

Lindsey Graham Tells Trump to Stop Racial Attacks on Harris: "This Is Your Election to Lose"

Quote:

Senator Lindsey Graham has a clear message for former President Donald Trump: Stop targeting Vice President Kamala Harris over her race and focus on her political record instead.

In a recent interview on Fox News Sunday, the South Carolina senator, who has long supported Trump, expressed concern over the former president’s ongoing attacks on Harris' race and heritage.

Graham made it clear that his issue with Harris is her "bad judgment," not her background.

“So, here’s what I would say to President Trump,” Graham advised, as reported by Business Insider.

“The problem I have with Kamala Harris is not her heritage; it’s her judgment. Every day, we’re talking about her heritage and not her terrible, dangerous liberal record throughout her entire political life.”

Graham's remarks come as Trump has increased his racially charged comments against Harris.

Recently, during a panel interview at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago, Trump claimed he wasn’t aware that Harris was Black “until a number of years ago.”

He also posted an old photo of Harris dressed in a sari on his Truth Social platform, emphasizing her Indian heritage.

Harris has faced many race- and gender-driven attacks since becoming the likely Democratic nominee. Despite the inflammatory nature of Trump’s remarks, Graham urged him to focus on policy instead of personal attacks.

"I would encourage President Trump to prosecute the case against Kamala Harris' bad judgment," Graham said, warning that Trump could lose the election if he doesn’t change his approach. "This is your election to lose. It's important to win."

Political experts have noted that such racially charged tactics are not surprising in today’s political climate. Some believe that these attacks might get even worse as the election approaches. Thomas Hollihan, a professor at USC Annenberg, mentioned that America’s history is full of race-based political attacks, so the current situation isn't unexpected.

Representatives for Trump, Graham, and Harris have not responded to the latest developments.

It is said Harris has many open paths to victory.

Let's see--cemetery voters, late votes, blank ballots, multiple precincts, ballot stuffing--yep. That's a path.

To be fair, this is typical Trump. All have witnessed this in the past. He will never change. Perhaps Harris needs to stop with the Prosecutor and Felon, her only talking point. It is time to start talking her policies.

Well no that not why the FED was created. The bullet is meant to compare FED concern now, to Yellen’s comment six months ago proclaiming we have achieved “soft landing”.

Yes the entire market is crashing today and not just your weird obsession with crypto while ignoring the rest. Logon to your brokerage and take a look. Oh wait you can’t because they’re down and are reporting errors amid todays market crash.

And so he is excused and his misbehaviour should be ignored, forgiven and forgotten?

No. He should be held accountable.

Beating a dead horse that the media, Dems and the like continue to do is wasted energy. The entire world has heard it before. Why would anyone be aghast or surprised by this?

He was never held accountable in the past. Why start now? Lets move on to substance like policy.

When have a politician been held accountable in general ?

Markus

Speaking of not taking responsibility.

World & U.S. markets crash today and senior Biden economic advisor Gene Sperling suddenly exits stage left. Rolled out big-spending bills after bill, took credit for the immediate economic benefits.

Now when the inevitable crash comes, they flee and take zero responsibility.

"If Biden gets in, the market will crash."

— Donald J. Trump

The proper thing to do is holding him accountable nevertheless. Failure to do so in the past is no excuse to intentionally not do it in the future. Think of it as correcting mistakes made in past, and ending the indifference allowing them to have been made in the first.
