Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C) defended Donald Trump on Sunday after the Republican presidential nominee called Vice President Kamala Harris “mentally disabled”.
At a rally in Prairie du Chien, WI Trump said Harris was born “mentally impaired.”
“And if you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country,” he continued.
Maria Town, the CEO of the American Association of People with Disabilities, said Trump’s language was “ableist.”
“Donald Trump’s ableist comments today say far more about him and his inaccurate, hateful biases against disabled people than it does about Vice President Harris, or any person with a disability,” she said in a statement.
In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on State of the Union Sunday, Graham defended Trump’s comments, arguing that Harris’ policies are “batshit crazy.”
“I just think the better course to take is to prosecute the case that her policies are destroying the country,” Graham said. “They’re crazy liberal.”
“I’m not saying she’s crazy. I’m saying your party, your policies are batshit crazy,” he added.
