Trump Campaign's 'Desperate' Email Attack On Kamala Harris Mocked On Twitter
President Donald Trump’s campaign sent out an eyebrow-raising email on Wednesday attacking Sen. Kamala Harris, who was just selected by Democrat Joe Biden to be his 2020 running mate.
The message, which quoted the president, was mocked on social media for sounding more like an elementary school playground insult than a communication from a presidential campaign.
The subject line was “Kamala is HORRIBLE” and calls her “the meanest, most horrible, most disrespectful,” among other things.

“I cannot believe Joe Biden would pick her as his running mate,” the message continued.
Many of Trump’s critics on Twitter couldn’t believe it was a real campaign communication:

“She’s the meanest, most horrible, most disrespectful!” Says the man who calls women “horse-face,” has killed 162,000 Americans, cages children; says he “grabs women by the pussy,” black people are “low IQ” “sons of bitches” who should be “fired,” & Obama was “born in Kenya.” https://t.co/cM4peTpBIh

Just this instant received a fundraising appeal signed by President Trump. It opens: "Kamala Harris is the meanest, most horrible, most disgraceful, MOST LIBERAL of anyone in the U.S. Senate..." Good to see the campaign is off to such a civil start! #BidenHarris #ElectionTwitter

If Trump goes onto lose, his inability to land effective attacks will be why. All the history you have to work with and you come up with Sleepy Joe and this desperate email. https://t.co/CNPbfV1RjU

"meanest, most horrible, most disrespectful" does not seem particularly creative or cutting pic.twitter.com/J7dumxRsxK

Trump’s fundraising email starts: “Kamala Harris is the meanest, most horrible...”
Even weirder than that opener is the backhanded compliment that follows it: “I can’t believe Joe Biden would pick her.”
Perfect example of the messaging salad coming out of Trump 2020 right now. pic.twitter.com/QeqvOTUbT9— Christina Wilkie (@christinawilkie) August 13, 2020
Trump campaign fundraising email calls Harris the “meanest, most horrible, most disrespectful, MOST LIBERAL of anyone in the U.S. Senate”
Biden laughingly mocked Trump for “whining” about Harris being mean earlier today pic.twitter.com/Rqfs3wBoiw— Will Steakin (@wsteaks) August 12, 2020
I just got an email allegedly from Trump, and apparently Lemony Snicket is writing his copy:
"Kamala Harris is the meanest, most horrible, most disrespectful, MOST LIBERAL of anyone in the U.S. Senate, and I cannot believe that Joe Biden would pick her as his running mate."— hilzoy (@hilzoy) August 13, 2020
"meanest" - lower case
"horrible" - lower case
"disrespectful" - lower case
"LIBERAL" - ALL CAPS
At least they know what characteristics their base actually cares about. https://t.co/ix70LjJWEv— 📬Save the Mail With Swamp Lizard📬 (@DiscoTempoJazz) August 13, 2020
