The irony appeared to be lost on Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, middle son Eric’s wife Lara Trump, when she went on her Right Side Broadcasting Network show, The Right View With Lara Trump, to launch a rather nasty, misogynistic, and sexist attack against her father-in-law’s newly installed Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, for allegedly lacking the “qualifications” she needs to do her job.
Americans were quick to use this opportunity to remind Lara Trump just exactly how she landed the co-chair position she currently holds in the Republican National Committee — because it certainly wasn’t on “qualifications” or “merit.”
Earlier this year, Donald Trump’s hostile takeover of the RNC was completed when former Chair Rona McDaniel was officially forced out and replaced with two of the ex-president’s personal installations into the positions — Michael Whatley as Chair and Donald’s very own daughter-in-law Lara Trump as co-chair.
The move was so blatantly hostile and ripe with nepotism abound that even many of Trump’s own MAGA crowd pushed back against Lara Trump’s new position — in large part because she was resoundingly unqualified for it, and was seemingly only installed because Donald knew good and well that she would do his bidding without question, as she has.
But, nevertheless, Lara took it upon herself to paint the presumptive Democratic nominee as an unqualified fool who only rose to the position of Vice President of the United States because she’s a woman; whereas, Lara herself claimed that she would never take a position offered to her unless it was earned and offered through merit alone.

“Let’s be honest, she has failed upward her entire career. Somehow, we know why Joe Biden chose her to be vice president with him,” Lara said before going on to claim that she was directly quoting President Biden regarding his choice for VP: “We want to choose someone not based on merit, not based on their skill set, not based the fact that they might be the best person for the job of vice president. Based on how she looked. Based on the fact that she was a woman. Based on the fact that she was a minority woman.”
“Uh, that’s really gross, as far as I’m concerned,” Lara continued to rage. “I’m a woman. Do me a favor. Don’t ever give me a position based on the fact that I’m a woman. Either I earned it, or I didn’t. And that’s it. That’s all I need.”

Americans wasted no time in reminding Lara Trump just exactly how she got where she is today:
Are they deliberately gaslighting us or does she actually think she’s qualified to be RNC Chair?

@LaraLeaTrump is in charge of the RNC why?
What are your qualifications?
The RNC chair is elected every two years by the RNC’s 168 members. But when a Republican president occupies the White House, the 168 effectively act as a rubber stamp for the president’s wishes given his…

What are Lara’s qualifications again? Bad wine drinking mother?

Laura tRump is the epitome of nepotism and has no credibility. Kamala if anything is over qualified to be President of the US. Prosecutor, Atty General, Senator, VP….tRump on the other hand is a convicted felon

Father-in-law killed irony years ago, but Lara Trump exhumed it and re-killed it to make that statement.

Like she was appointed by her father in law to be co chair of the RNC? Lara has no shame.

😂 How did Lara get her job at the RNC?
— Tweety 🇺🇸💔🥥🌴 (@DarkBlue420) August 8, 2024
Kamala Harris is quite literally the sitting Vice President of the United States as we speak, the very first female to ever serve in the position. Before that, Harris had a record of success as a United States Senator, an elected Attorney General of the state of California, and a courtroom prosecutor.
The call is coming from inside your own house, Lara.
