Republicans took to the airwaves Sunday to criticize a surging Kamala Harris, calling the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee a “dangerous liberal” as US conservatives’ lines of attack on the vice-president began to solidify.

In appearances across CNN and Fox News, senior Republican figures Tom Cotton, Lindsey Graham and former presidential candidate Ron DeSantis each attempted to paint Harris – who is typically seen as a centrist Democrat – as having far-left politics.

Those remarks came after Trump sought to insult Harris at a rally on Friday night. The ex-president appeared to deliberately mispronounce Harris’s first name, claimed she is “the most incompetent, unpopular and far-left vice-president in American history” and stated: “She was a bum three weeks ago.”

Speaking to CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, Cotton, the US senator from Arkansas, said: “For four years things were good” during Trump’s presidency. He argued that after Joe Biden took the White House in 2020 with Harris as his running mate, “everything has gone to hell”.

    I wish the Democrats were half as liberal and as effective as the Republicans claim they are.

        If this was a season of The West Wing twenty years ago, people would think it was too unbelievable.

      These people were so broken by a black man becoming president. They may just have the vapors so hard it’s like a jim jones convention across the country. We seriously need to invest in mental health in this country.

    She’s a radical leftist and a dangerous liberal? I’m beginning to think Republicans just use these terms without understanding them…

    Democracy won’t survive a Trump presidency. The christofascist ideology may not survive a Harris presidency, or at least remain as strong as it is today. I wish everyone that wants to live under authoritarianism would just move somewhere else. There are a lot of choices to choose from.

    Why is the Harris campaign not selling t-shirts that say “dangerous liberal”? Because I would buy five of them.

    She should use “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins in campaign videos moving forward.

    Does snearing the word, “liberal”, have any effect on anyone who isn’t a magaloon?

    The usual stale bullshit from the GOP, I see. They’re scared because they have nothing and expected an easy win with Biden.

      I’m actually proud of them for at least putting in the effort to get farther than “black and woman”

    “I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.”

    Is the only response Graham gets for the rest of his life

    I mean for him? He’s not exactly wrong. He’s facing a lot of felony charges, including some RICO.

    Everything has gone to hell for him. As it should. The rest of us? If Barely scraping by is the definition of going to hell, a large amount of us (not me personally, but my generation) has been scraping by since… At least 2007.
