Donald Trump on Wednesday night falsely smeared Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer as a “proud member of Hamas.”

The Republican presidential nominee made the insulting remark about the top-ranking U.S. Jewish official at a rally in Pennsylvania. It came on the same day that Trump separately sparked an angry backlash for questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity.

    i’m having a real hard time believing that anyone’s actually “on the fence” about whether to vote R or D at this point. i think they’re voting R and just don’t want to say it out loud

      They’re called “low information voters”, the common clay of the new West.

      The real question at this point is who shows up to the poll booth. I’m not sure how much trump using the n word would depress his turnout or enthuse kamala turnout.

        Him saying it out loud would probably make his turnout better, but also enthuse Harris turnout

        I will admit, I don’t think we are as “in your face” as the Trumpers are. This is the first time I’ve been vocal. Just got my Cat Ladies for Kamala T-shirt in the mail today. 😻

      There’s probably a small cohort that would vote for him for tax or regulatory reasons that might get turned off by too much of this crap, but I don’t it’s electorally significant.
