Trump hurls a string of insults at Harris including ‘lazy,’ a racist trope against Black people
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump unleashed a series of personal attacks at Vice President Kamala Harris.
She sure is lazy with all those rallies and interviews and events while he doggedly cancels almost everything claiming exhaustion.
I mean….let's do a music.
He's such a hard worker he took 15 minutes out of his packed schedule to lean out of a widow with a box of fries.
Wait, I thought he was convinced she only inherited the Indian genetics somehow?
Trump said she recently became black, so now he will do the dignified thing and only use racism about her being black since she can't be two things at the same time. /s
And she's always late. -orange
I have seen more than one specific story about her being late to events recently. She calls him Hitler. To me they're both pieces of shit and both comments are fair game.
Side Note: If you ever hear anyone using the word 'itis' you should know its origins. The Itis is that sudden sleepiness we sometimes feel. Think post turkey dinner food coma. The original, full word is "nig**ritis" and it was a highly racist term used to describe that sleepiness because black people are lazy. "Oh man, I ate some much and now I've caught the nig**ritis". I knew a lot of black people that used the word, not knowing of its origins or true meaning.

EDIT: Past tense.
Just want to clarify for others like me who might initially have a negative reaction to this claim: this is referring specifically to a phrase like "I have the itis" (which personally I have never heard). The suffix -itis, of course, does not come from this and is much older.
I remember watching this when it aired and being floored.

It was fairly common in the south (I lived in Louisiana) but I had not heard it used for years until Lawrence dropped that gem on the Food Network.
Yeah, I don't correct my black coworkers but I've certainly not said that I have the itis in a long, long time.
yeah yeah Mr "Executive Time", projecting much I see.
Alright, listen...
Insults are meant to hurt the person you're hurling them at. That's the point of insults. "Lazy" is a pretty generic one, and it's kind of a reach to say it's racially-motivated. Yes, Trump is a Racist Wannabe-Nazi, but come on. Enough with the sensationalism.
It's only generic when you don't know your history. Trump doesn't exactly come across as a history scholar, though. He also doesn't care either way.
