Republicans Revolt Against Trump After His Horrific Comments About Harris

Donald Trump’s comments about Kamala Harris “turning black” in just the last few years this week are going to cost him tons of votes – and that’s according to the people who actually like him. From the Senate, to the House, and all the way to people like Bill O’Reilly, Republicans are disgusted by Trump’s comments about Harris’ ethnicity, and they aren’t being shy about saying it. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Donald Trump's performance this week in that room filled with black journalists where he suggested that Kamala Harris is not actually black, but that she had turned black in recent years was so horrific and so abhorrent that even Republicans, Republicans in the Senate, Republicans in the house, republicans in the media, all of them have now had to come out publicly to denounce, and in some cases actually attack Donald Trump for his horrific racist statement. Here is a sampling of what some Republicans are out there saying right now. Larry Hogan, former governor of Maryland Republicans said this, it's unacceptable and abhorrent to attack Vice President Harris or anyone's racial identity. The American people deserve better.

James Comer, the Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee, who has been doing Donald Trump's bidding for a year and a half in his position. He said this, I don't think that I would've made that comment, uh, at that particular venue. Okay. I mean, that's not necessarily blasting Trump, but it's also like, oh, you shouldn't have done it, but then you're like, he shouldn't have done it at that venue, which does suggest that James Comer, even though he is not happy, Trump said it. He's just not happy. Trump said it there. So Comer thinks there's a time and a place to say that Kamala Harris is not black, just not in a room filled with black journalists. Okay? Alright, Jim, I would love to know, please reach out to us here at Ring of Fire. You tell us what the correct venue is for that and, and don't say at a, uh, clan meeting, because that's obvious.

I would love to know from James Comer himself, I am calling you out. You said Trump shouldn't have said it at that venue, so please reach out to me and you tell me what the correct venue is. Then of course, you had Republican whip, John Thune from the Senate who said the campaign is, needs to be, must be about the issues, and there's plenty to talk about. I just think that's where the focus needs to be. So yeah, let's refocus Donald Trump from being racist. If you're able to do that to a 79-year-old man, then God bless you, but I don't think you're gonna be able to do it. I think Trump's 78, honestly doesn't matter. Who cares? Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski said this. Maybe they don't know how to handle the campaign, and so you default to issues that should simply not be an issue as per usual Murkowski taking a stand by not actually taking a stand. Republican strategists and CNN analyst, Sher Michaal Singleton said this, you need to be careful with this crap. I, I can't even say what I really wanna say about this. It's, it's words I shouldn't use on live television.

That's shocking. Republican strategist, Scott Jennings said this. He did crap. The bed, the only question is whether he's gonna roll around in it or get up and change the sheets. And of course, Trump decided to roll around in it because he doubled down on his horrible statements on Truth social shortly after that event. It got him lots of media coverage. So he said, what the hell? I'll keep doing it. And then Bill O'Reilly, Donald Trump's racist comments about Kamala Harris were too much even for Bill O'Reilly in a segment, for some reason on News Nation with Chris Cuomo. This is what O'Reilly said. Rachel Scott blew it. She was running the event, and I disagree with that. You're just an a-hole, whatever. Donald Trump blew it. And the happiest person in the country tonight is Kamala Harris. She's sitting there cackling saying, look at this. Look at Trump.

[MrPanamared]

And on and on and on it goes. VOTE HARRIS and let tRump attend his trials, he's earned it.

[benjaminscribner]

They knew what he was and they STILL nominated him for president.

[stevenbrown]

Trump’s disgraceful performance at that event visibly demonstrated his utter contempt for black Women, particularly those who challenge him in any way. VOTE BLUE!

Give it time.
He will say the word.
Or someone close to him will say it.
Give it time. Lol

[alexhigginbotham]

At this point it's like.... what are the GOP really expecting from him?

[granitemountain]

Being a little bit racist is like being a little bit pregnant.

[toddcorrigan]

As a republican I did not vote for Obama not on color but just being republican and did not know much about him. But did come to actually like him over time. But when it came to trump I had to make a hard choice to vote for Hillary since I knew a load about trump. Same for Biden and now Harris and had learned more bad about trump each passing time he has shown. trump was the one who makes it easy for me to vote for Harris since he has shown he does not care about America but she does and for all of us, not just himself. I am a republican since Reagan voting blue full ticket to prevent trump and MAGA.

[thomasoneill]

Maybe he's not 78. Maybe he's 80 and is lying about his age. He needs to show us his birth certificate. SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THAT!

[mediarare]

Trump made saying the quiet part out loud fashionable for the GOP. Suddenly being hateful could produce results.
Good luck trying to put that genie back in the bottle.

[cordaewestmore]

They should ALL be suggesting HE step down

[MichaelSmith-fjdi]

The more he runs his mouth, the worse it is for him! He doesn't realize this though!

[naspayne]

They’re only pissed cuz he said that shit in public.

[sugardulce]

[kymtv]

Well they should have passed the child tax credit yesterday. They are still POS

[davidwalter]

He has absolutely no filter. If it crossing his mind, it's coming out his mouth. Just let him keep talking, and he'll destroy his chances of getting elected.

[geraividet]

Please understand that we have to vote against trumpism. Not only do we need to vote against Trump, but we also need to vote every maga out of office. Only then will the GOP understand that we reject the path they have taken.
