Former President Donald Trump has reportedly used a derogatory slur to describe Vice President Kamala Harris in private conversations, as reported by The New York Times. The slur, which is often targeted at women, was allegedly used by Trump on at least two separate occasions. However, the Trump campaign has denied these claims, stating that such language has not been used by the President to describe Harris.
Trump, a Republican, has a history of making derogatory remarks about women and his political opponents. In the past, he has referred to Harris and other women, such as Hillary Clinton, as 'nasty.' Additionally, Trump has been criticized for his comments about women, including his infamous remarks captured on the 'Access Hollywood' tape.
During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump called one of his Republican rivals, Carly Fiorina, 'horseface.' More recently, he falsely claimed that Harris had misled voters about her racial background, despite her being of Black and Asian descent.
Trump has also faced accusations of sexual misconduct. E. Jean Carroll, a writer who accused him of rape, was dismissed by Trump as a 'nut job' who fabricated the allegations to promote her memoir. While a New York jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse in a civil case filed by Carroll, they did not find him guilty of rape.
Not limited to women, Trump has also directed disparaging comments towards male political figures. He famously referred to Senator Marco Rubio as 'liddle Marco,' Senator Ted Cruz as 'lyin' Ted,' and former Governor Jeb Bush as 'low energy Jeb' during the 2016 Republican primary debates.
