FLINT, MICHIGAN: Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders attacked Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris for not having any biological children while campaigning for GOP nominee Donald Trump in Michigan on Tuesday, September 17.

Harris has two stepchildren, Ella, 25, and Cole, 29, with her husband Doug Emhoff via his previous marriage. However, that has not stopped Republicans from taking demeaning swings at her, reported Mediaite.



 

Sarah Huckabee Sanders attacks Kamala Harris for being 'childless'

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was speaking at a town hall event for Donald Trump on Tuesday when she stated that Kamala Harris has nothing in her life to keep her humble because she did not have any children.

"So, my kids keep me humble,” she told the crowd. “Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.”

Despite the demeaning nature of the comment, it elicited loud "boos" from the crowd for Harris. The message also echoed the widely criticized remark of "childless cat ladies" made by the GOP vice presidential candidate and Ohio Senator JD Vance in 2021.

"We’re effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made,” Vance told Fox News at the time. "And so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too. And it’s just a basic fact. You look at Kamala Harris, Pete."

"Buttigieg, AOC, the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children,” Vance had said.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders slammed for hitting 'new low' by attacking Kamala Harris for not having biological children

Social media users took to X (formerly Twitter) and called Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders out for her demeaning attack on Kamala Harris. 

"Sarah Huckabee Sanders just hit a new low. Attacking someone for not having children? That’s not just vile, it’s despicable. Humility clearly isn’t taught in her household either," wrote a user.



 

"Talk about alienating half your voters?" asked another.



 

"Sounds like she's projecting her own lack of humbleness," shared one person.



 

"In polite society, you would not, ever, make disparaging comments about a woman for not having a child," noted another.



 

"She's such an embarrassment to Arkansas," one individual wrote.



 

"Women, this is the symbolic representation of current day Trump’s GOP!!!" added another.
