Lara Trump Says Father-In-Law Was Just 'Joking Around' With Wild Kamala Harris Attacks
HuffPost
NBC News' Kristen Welker asked Lara Trump if the former president's language "best represents" him and the Republican Party.
Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump brushed off her father in-law Donald Trump’s attacks on Kamala Harris after he called the vice president “mentally disabled,” “mentally impaired” and a “very dumb person” at recent rallies.
Lara Trump, on Tuesday’s edition of “Meet the Press NOW,” reacted to clips of the GOP nominee as NBC News’ Kristen Welker noted that he’s seemed to “sharpen his tone” on Harris and has described Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as a “moron.”
“Is that language that you think best represents your father-in-law and the Republican Party? Just the language?” Welker asked.
“Well, I’ll tell you this is, this is Donald Trump and he has never tried to make himself out to be anyone other than who he is. And obviously he’s kind of joking around there with the crowd at a Trump rally when he says those things,” the RNC co-chair replied.
