WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans on Sunday sought to distance themselves from Donald Trump’s latest insults of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris

in which he called her “mentally disabled.”

Trump escalated his personal attacks on the vice president during what was billed as a speech on immigration following Harris’ trip to the U.S.-Mexico border.

“Joe Biden became mentally impaired,” Trump said. “Kamala was born that way. She was born that way. And if you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country. Anybody would know this.”

and regularly insults her as “*******,” “weak,” “***** as a rock” and “lazy.” With just over a month left before the presidential election, his allies pushed him publicly and privately to talk instead about the economy, immigration and other issues.

“I just think the better course to take is to prosecute the case that her policies are destroying the country,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on CNN’s “State of the Union” when asked about Trump’s comments. “They’re crazy ********.”

When asked whether he approved of the remarks, Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., sidestepped during an interview on ABC’s “This Week.”

“I think Kamala Harris is the wrong choice for America,” said Emmer, who is helping Trump’s running mate JD Vance prepare for Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate. “I think Kamala Harris is actually as bad or worse as the administration that we’ve witnessed for the last four years.”

When pressed, Emmer said: “I think we should stick to the issues. The issues are, Donald Trump fixed it once. They broke it. He’s going to fix it again. Those are the issues.”

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, running for the Senate as a moderate ***********, brought up Trump’s false claims that Harris, the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, had previously downplayed her ****** heritage. Harris attended Howard University, a historically ****** college, and has identified as both ****** and South ****** consistently throughout her political career.

“I’ve already called him out when he had the one interview where he was questioning her ******* identity, and now he’s questioning her mental competence,” Hogan told CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “And I think that’s insulting not only to the vice president but to people who actually do have mental disabilities.”

to personal attacks against Harris.

“As far as the personal attacks, I’m very ****** at her because of what she’s done to the country,” he told a news conference then. “I’m very ****** at her that she would weaponize the justice system against me and other people, very ****** at her. I think I’m entitled to personal attacks.”
