On Friday afternoon, America PAC posted a video ad attacking Trump’s opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. “America really can’t afford a ‘C-Word’ in the White House right now,” America PAC posted, adding a laughing emoji. “Kamala Harris is a ‘C word,’” the narrator of the ad says. “You heard that right. A big ole ‘C word.’”

The “joke” of the ad is that Harris is a “communist.” Of course, Harris is not a communist. And the ad makes no effort to show she is a communist. The line is only included as a pretext to repeatedly use a crass, misogynistic slur against Harris.

      Trump is literally playing “it’s a man’s world” as an intro and outro for his rallies.

        I just watched the interview of James brown saying that as a response to a question about his divorce while high as fuck on live tv. Can’t make this shit up.

      You know, it was tough, but in the end we won. With 11 boys for and 10 girls against.

      As the joke goes, they can’t be because they lack the depth and the warmth.

      They’re more like assholes- they only exist to spew shit and their worldview is upside down.

    Britain had their iron cunt, and while she was evil she did get her way. So maybe we could stand for Kamala to be our iron cunt, but this time for good.

    I know I’m succeeding when insecure men call me misogynistic names. And few men are as insecure as musk and trump

    I’d change “a” to “someone” for better grammar: “America really can’t afford someone competent in the White House right now 😂”. That’s what they meant, right?

    I think the outrage over the word cunt is the most over dramatic Karen thing ever.

    This election is a dumpster fire and Trump has dragged down everyone, but the outrage on this is a lol. Bill Burr said it best on this topic.

      Is it? It’s literally an advertisement against a presidential candidate that’s only clever if you’re stupid trying to call her a cunt straight to her face. And then the “clever disguise” is that they say they really mean “communist” which is just completely wrong if you have the requisite two braincells to knock together.

      It’s not the word that’s got people pissed it’s the fact that the Trump campaign is using it to attack a political opponent they couldn’t hold a candle to. I have no idea how you missed that.
