After MSNBC host and anchor Stephanie Ruhle’s feisty appearance on HBO’s “Real Time” last weekend, former president and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump lashed out at her for insisting that any informed still-undecided voter with a brain should be voting for Kamala Harris.
In a Truth Social post after the show, Trump called Ruhle “a dumb as a rock bimbo.”
On Wednesday, while Ruhle appeared on colleague Nicolle Wallace’s show, “Deadline White House,” to promote Ruhle’s interview with Harris, the Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee, Ruhle said that a refreshing aspect of the interview was that Harris stayed positive.
“What I didn’t hear from her was divisive language,” Ruhle said. “What I barely even heard from her was ripping on Donald Trump. Imagine if I was sitting [with] Donald Trump. Imagine the language he would be using. Please. And just the fact that we were talking about collaborative inclusivity … I don’t know, Nicolle, vote for her or don’t vote for her, but isn’t it great to just have a positive conversation right now?”
Wallace, aware of Trump’s insult, stuck up for Ruhle.
“I hope you would be divisive if you were sitting across from him, but we’ll put a pin in that let me play some more from the interview,” Wallace said.
But Ruhle cut her off and leaned into the camera for effect, then delivered the knockout blow.
“Let’s be clear,” Ruhle said. “Let’s be clear: I thought he liked bimbos.”
Trump, of course, is a known philanderer who got caught making hush-money payments to a porn star while being convicted of 34 felonies.
Ruhle’s interview with the vice president piggy-backed on Harris’ economic speech on Wednesday. She pledged to build an economy that is both pro-business and helps the middle class as she pushed back against Trump’s claims that she’s advancing “communist” ideas.
Harris said in remarks at the Economic Club of Pittsburgh in battleground Pennsylvania that she “would take good ideas from wherever they come” as she promised to double the number of people being trained in registered apprenticeships and outlined her support for more home ownership.
“As president, I will be grounded in my fundamental values of fairness, dignity and opportunity,” Harris said. “And I promise you, I will be pragmatic in my approach.”
Harris, who called Trump “the biggest loser” on manufacturing jobs while pointing out that 200,000 were lost during his presidency, plans to provide $100 billion worth of tax breaks and other incentives to build up U.S. manufacturing and emerging technologies.
