‘Call A Spade A Spade’: Trump Spox Gives Stunning Response About Attacking Kamala Harris As ‘Dumb’

By News Here - 12:08

CNN anchor Kate Bolduan got a stunning response when she asked a Trump senior adviser about attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris over her intellect — at best a poorly-phrased one.

Former Amb. Nikki Haley has been giving unsolicited advice to former President Donald Trump — who nicknamed her “Birdbrain” — about the denigrating way he speaks about VP Harris and other women — although she hasn’t spoken personally with Trump since June.

On Tuesday’s edition of CNN News Central, Bolduan asked Trump campaign senior adviser Danielle Alvarez about Haley’s advice — to which Alvarez responded “I think it’s important to call a spade a spade”:

BOLDUAN: Nikki Haley does not like the demeaning comments that Trump has made about Kamala Harris, and she said as much yesterday in an interview. Let me play this.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) NIKKI HALEY, (R) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I think it’s because Donald Trump and J.D. Vance need to change the way they speak about women. You don’t need to call Kamala dumb. She didn’t get this far just by accident. She’s here. That’s what it is. She’s a prosecutor. You don’t need to go and talk about intelligence or looks or anything else. Just focus on the policies. When you call even a Democrat woman dumb, Republican women get their backs up, too.

BOLDUAN: Do you agree with Nikki Haley?

ALVAREZ: Well, I think the issues should be the focus tonight, but the reality is that Kamala Harris’s failures on issues is the reason why she is incompetent, whether she’s a man or a woman.

BOLDUAN: Right, and that’s what Nikki Haley is saying. You agree that it doesn’t help Donald Trump when she calls him — when he calls her dumb?

ALVAREZ: I think it’s important to call a spade a spade. I think Kamala Harris is absolutely incompetent for the failures of the last three-and-a-half years.

BOLDUAN: You think she is dumb?

ALVAREZ: And she’s peddling lies, and I believe that she is peddling lies when she talks about turning the page. She is currently the vice president in the White House. We need to turn the page —

BOLDUAN: Telling mistruths, Danielle, is not equivalent to being dumb. You would then be making a statement about Donald Trump as well if that was the case.

ALVAREZ: I think —

BOLDUAN: Do you agree with Donald Trump —

ALVAREZ: — doing the job that she is auditioning for. I absolutely think that she is incapable of doing the job that she is auditioning for. I believe that Americans know that she is incapable of doing the job that she is auditioning for because she is currently in the White House and failing. Inflation is higher than it has been since before she took office.

Housing is unaffordable. The southern border is open. We are in wars abroad. She is an absolute failure, and she is dangerously liberal, and that is what we will prove tonight.

BOLDUAN: If the position of the campaign is that she is incompetent and dumb, that is setting a bar for where things — what you think, where you think the bar is tonight for Kamala Harris.

ALVAREZ: Incompetent, she is absolutely incompetent on the issues.

BOLDUAN: Danielle Alvarez, thank you very much for coming on.
