Sarah Sanders's crude swipes at Kamala Harris notch a new low for GOP [View all]

Everyone in Trump's world is an asshole.

“My kids keep me humble,” Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders preened, thereby disproving her own claim. “Unfortunately, Kamala Harris” — and at this point Sanders mispronounced the vice president’s name — “doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.”

Leave aside the gall of accusing the opposing candidate of lacking humility when you are the warm-up act for Donald Trump, Sanders is living proof that parenthood offers no guarantee of that virtue.

Enough, too, with the deliberate othering of someone with an unusual, foreign-sounding first name. It’s not hard to learn the correct pronunciation. It’s no accident that Republicans, led by Donald Trump, consistently and flagrantly get the syllabic emphasis wrong — that is, when they can manage to choke out Harris’s name at all. In his debate performance, Trump referred only to “she” and “her,” as if Harris were not a person worthy of being identified or, for that matter, even looked at.
