Attacking Vice President Kamala Harris, presumptive nominee of the Democratic party, is not helpful, Republican leader Nikki Haley said on Thursday and insisted that she needs to be criticized based on her policies.
“It’s not helpful. It’s not helpful. I mean, we’re talking about a liberal senator who literally has not accomplished very much and what she was given she didn’t do much with. You don’t need to talk about what she looks like or what gender she is to talk about that. The American people are smarter than that,” Haley told CNN in an interview.
She was responding to a question on the attack on Harris based on the colour of her skin and gender.
“Talk about the fact that she doesn’t believe in fracking. Tell that to the voters in Pennsylvania. Talk about the fact that she doesn’t want to talk about paying down debt. She wants to increase taxes. Tell that to the American people. Talk about the fact that consumer prices have gone up 19.5% since Joe and Kamala were in office,” she said.
“Talk about the fact that she’s always sided with the Palestinian protests instead of our friend Israel. There are so many issues we can talk about when it comes to Kamala Harris. It doesn’t matter what she looks like. It matters what she said, what she’s fought for, and the lack of results that she’s had because of it,” Haley said.
