Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggested Vice President Kamala Harris is not humble because she does not have biological children.

During a campaign event for former President Donald Trump Tuesday, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggested Vice President Kamala Harris is not humble because she does not have biological children.

The comments came during a town hall the governor moderated in Flint, Michigan, at first joking about how her children’s innocent remarks can make her feel humble despite her high-profile position.

    Then attack them on what they did, not on what they look like. Attacking people based on their appearance just shows that you don’t have anything better to attack them on either because they’re actually right or because you don’t know enough to present a more compelling argument against them, in which case, as I said, you might as well just shut up.

      Are we not allowed or capable of having nuanced, diverse thought about a person? There’s certainly more than one thread in these replies…

      Nobody is saying she’s bad because she’s ugly, just that she’s ugly. You can draw those conclusions if you’re bad faith, but they’re obviously faulty conclusions that are more like what a parent tells their bullied child to make them feel better than anything politically sound.

      This isn’t the senate floor, this is lemmy. Maybe that guy doesn’t care that much about the politics, maybe they do. We can’t really tell from this comment alone. Regardless, they have just as much a right to be here as you do. So, you “just shut up” first lol and learn how to use a period while you’re at it.

        I’m sure if it was someone you liked your would be in agreement with me, that’s the problem with these attacks, they have no value and disagreeing with them is as simple as saying what I’ve been saying from the get go “If that’s all you have then clearly that person must be right.”

        If you think it’s a good thing to lower yourself to their level to attack them then you’re no better than them.

          Lol no I wouldn’t be. It’s a silly line of attack to get upset over. Depending on the person I’d tell them they’re wrong and/or they have other merits and move on with my life.

          You are more than welcome to disagree and have a discussion about it but shutting down and telling them to shut up is not the right way to go about it.

          And if she’s going to preach an ideology for everyone else that makes it a moral failing to be unattractive then she should be the first one to die by her own sword. Quit playing defense for fascists.
