Peter Navarro Blasts Republicans Over Harris Attack 

Former President Donald Trump’s trade adviser, Peter Navarro, urged Republicans on Friday to stop attacking Vice President Kamala Harris over her past relationships and her weird laugh.

Navarro, who served a prison term after he defied a Democrat-led congressional subpoena, specifically criticized Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who has mocked Harris for her “cackling.”

Navarro, while speaking on the “War Room” podcast, maintains that such offensive comments are detrimental to the Republican Party’s appeal to women voters.

“Do we get women when we call Kamala a slut or make fun of her cackle, Ted Cruz? We do not,” Navarro said. “Shut up. That gets us nowhere. Women, when they hear that crap, are resentful, particularly of old white men pulling that crap. Shut up. When you do that, you turn precisely the voters off, particularly women, that we are going to need to win this election. Why not … point out how Kamala Harris owns every single one of the bad policies that Biden has put into place with her help?”

Fox News host Neil Cavuto echoed Navaro’s sentiments when he criticized Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) for mocking Harris.  Kennedy claimed many Americans think Harris “is a little bit of a ding-dong” and that “she’s not serious.”  Cavuto, however, pushed back on the senator’s remark.

“Well, this ding-dong, senator, has risen in the polls. And I’m wondering if the strategy to focus on her laugh, or the former president calling her ‘nasty’ and ‘crazy’ really promotes that push to show she’s not up to the job. Does it look petty? Does it say, to judge her on this level, looks like a strategy that could backfire on Republicans?” Cavuto responded.

Latest polls show that the vice president is beating Trump by a whopping 16% among women voters. Meanwhile, the former president has a 23% lead over Harris when it comes to men. The poll was conducted by Quinnipiac University and surveyed voters from July 19 to July 21.
