Republican leaders are warning party members against using overtly racist and sexist attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris, as they and former President Donald Trump ‘s campaign scramble to adjust to the reality of a new Democratic rival less than four months before Election Day.

At a closed-door meeting of House Republicans on Tuesday, National Republican Congressional Committee chairman Richard Hudson, R-N.C., urged lawmakers to stick to criticizing Harris for her role in Biden-Harris administration policies.

“This election will be about policies and not personalities,” House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters after the meeting.

“This is not personal with regard to Kamala Harris,” he added, “and her ethnicity or her gender have nothing to do with this whatsoever.”

    I’m afraid the archive link just keeps asking me if I’m a robot and won’t let me in no matter how many times I check the box or tell them how many motorcycles I see.

        I agree with this person.

      So, you’re repeatedly performing the same task at the command of a computer. Are you certain you are a cephalopod, airborne or otherwise, and not, in fact, a robot? ;)

        Well… twice for the latter. The first time I had my VPN on, so I turned it off and tried again. So I guess ‘no matter how many times’ only applied to the first half of that. I clicked it like five times each time just to see if it made a difference.

        Also, repetitive behavior is a very squid thing to do if we want to avoid predators. This feels like some sort of preying on my ability to show them I’m not a robot to me!
