Trump Spokesperson Slammed For Remark About ‘The Smell’ On Kamala Harris’ Plane

Steven Cheung is an official spokesperson for the Trump-Vance 2024 campaign, and remarks he made Wednesday on social media regarding Vice President Kamala Harris and the “smell” on Air Force Two have set off an avalanche of angry reactions online.

Taking to Twitter, Cheung reacted to a posting about Sen. J.D. Vance, who tried to confront Harris on an airport tarmac in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, according to The Daily Beast.

That led Cheung to add his own disgusting commentary.

Cheung’s comment could be taken in two ways.

First, it could well be a blatantly racist dog whistle suggesting that Harris herself smells bad because she’s black.

Or the remark from the Trump spokesman could refer to comments Harris made regarding marijuana, which Harris has admitted she smoked when she was younger.

“Half my family is from Jamaica, are you kidding me?” Harris said in a 2019 interview, and it’s safe to speculate that most young Americans smoked weed at least once in their lives.

Considering that Cheung works for failed one-term former president Donald Trump, however, most people who read the tweet insisted it was indeed meant to be an attack on Harris’ race.
