Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump reported call his opponent Vice President Kamala Harris a “bitch” repeatedly, according to reports from New York Times based on two people who heard the remarks on separate occasions. Trump’s spokesman Steven Truong denied these statements, saying, “That is not the language President Trump used to describe Kamala” and “that is not how the campaign would describe her.”
However, Trump has used this gendered slur to talk about women or profited from its use throughout his career. And, he did not shy away from the language in 2016 when he ran for president. Hillary Clinton— lest we all remember “BEAT THAT BITCH” T-shirts filled his rallies. (The phrase also adorned bumper sticker, yard signAnd hot sauce bottle.)
At a rally in New Hampshire during that campaign, someone in the crowd retained a bumper sticker that read “TRUMP THAT BITCH,” and the then-candidate spotted it, stopping Trump in the middle of his speech.
“This could only happen at a Trump rally,” he said, after pointing, smiling and laughing at the crowd. Then, after mentioning the pushback he received after no correction for town hall attendees who stressed that the President Barack Obama is Muslim, Trump pointed at the man in the crowd.
“Sir, you are reprimanded, okay?” he said before throwing his arm up in the air in a dismissive gesture. “But, we’re not kicking him out, are we, guys?”
