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.
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.
