Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump slammed his general election opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, at the National Association of Black Journalists conference on Wednesday, mocking her for failing her first attempt at passing the California bar exam.
After being asked if he would “consider taking a cognitive test,” Trump replied. “I would love to do it.”
“And making it public?” came the follow-up.
“Well, I’ve already taken two of them, but I’ll do it again,” he shot back before launching the broadside at Harris.
“I said, Joe [Biden] and I will go and take a cognitive test. Now, I’d do it with her [Harris], too. I would do it with her also. You know what? She failed her law exam. She didn’t pass her law exam, so maybe she wouldn’t pass the cognitive test,” said Trump.
“I’m just giving you the facts! I’m just giving you the fact!” shouted Trump as the moderators jumped back in. “She didn’t pass her bar exam, and she didn’t think she would pass it, and she didn’t think she was going to ever pass it. And I don’t know what happened — maybe she passed it.
“She did pass it, she did pass it,” insisted ABC News’ Rachel Scott, with whom Trump had already sparred
Harris failed her first bar exam before passing on the next attempt and being admitted to the bar in 1990, the year after she graduated from law school.
