4:07Now PlayingAn adviser for Kamala Harris coined a new attack against Republicans in a recent campaign email, and it is one that is now driving Republicans insane. The attack is simple: Republicans are weird, sick freaks. But the simplicity of it is what is driving conservatives up the wall, to the point where Vivek Ramaswamy got blasted on social media for whining about the "juvenile" name-calling from the Left. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

You know, from the beginning, back in 2016 when Michelle Obama gave her very good speech, by the way, when they go low, we go high. I didn't agree with it then. And I love Michelle Obama, but I didn't like that because I do think that sometimes you gotta get your hands dirty, especially in the world of politics. Republicans put out some of the nastiest talking points, some of the nastiest political ads, and of course the worst policies you could imagine. And you can't play nice with people like that. It's not always an option to go high. And luckily now that Kamala Harris is the presumptive nominee, uh, her people have decided, you know what? We're not gonna go high. We're gonna get mean when we need to get mean. And by God, they need to get mean right now. And they have this past weekend, they launched a new talking point.
It's very simple. It's very easy. Republicans are weird, sick freaks. That's it. That's what one of Harris's advisors put out there in an email to supporters last week. And it wasn't even like they said, Hey, here's the new talking point. They just mentioned that. And suddenly then of course you've got Governor Tim Walls out there all over the media repeating this, going after Republicans with it. You've got democratic lawmakers saying, slap it on a bumper sticker. That's brilliant. It's all over social media that Republicans are weird, sick freaks. And as simple as it sounds, as easy as that line is, apparently it is seriously off. Republicans and Vik Rams Swami found it out the hard way when he decided to get on social media on Sunday night and cry like a little baby about Democrats being mean to Republicans. Here's what Rams Swami put out on Twitter. This whole, their weird argument from the Democrats is dumb and juvenile. This is a presidential election, not a high school prom queen contest. It's also a tad ironic coming from the party that preaches diversity and inclusion win on policy if you can, but cut the crap, please.
Yes, it is the Democrats who of course are the ones being juvenile and childish and not Donald. I have a nickname for everybody. Trump. And of course the people on social media were very quick to call out rum Swami's hypocrisy because of course he has not called out Donald Trump for all of the nicknames that he has, including his nickname for Kamala Harris. So here's one from David Hogg who said, dumb and effing juvenile. Trump literally jokes about the size of his on national tv. Also, if you gotta say you aren't weird, I got bad news for you. Conservative army, Iraq war veteran Peter Heinen also chimed in saying The hypocrisy is so thick you could almost drown in it. And then Ron Philip Kowski,
Uh, who posts a lot of clips on there he is with Midas Touch, a brilliant guy. He says, A finalist for weirdo Hall of Fame checks in. But that's the brilliance of this talking point. Republicans are weird, they are sick, they're freaks. They're the ones obsessed with what you have below your waist, right? What genitalia you have. They are the ones who want to take away your rights to choose what to do with your own body. They're the ones who are pushing these horrible policies of banning books across the United States. It's weird and it's sick, and these people are in fact freaks. It's a simple talking point and one that after just four days is already getting under the Republican skin. So I suggest we keep it up.
