Trump attacks Harris with racist stereotype, eyes ‘extreme power’ as president

DORAL, Fla. — Republican nominee Donald Trump used a racist stereotype to attack Vice President Kamala Harris and described his desire to exercise “extreme power” as president during an event Tuesday that was billed as a summit to highlight his support among Latinos.

“I was going to hit her really hard on the trail today, but now I don’t have to, because she’s off,” Trump said of Harris, who is spending the day in Washington between campaign travel on the other days of the week. “You know why? She’s lazy as hell, and she’s got that reputation.”
