AN IRISH SENATOR has laid into Donald Trump following comments he made about Joe Biden's running mate Kamala Harris.

"That would be an insult to our country."
Fianna Fail Senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee "yawned" at the President's words, and appeared to accuse him of sexism towards women in politics.
"'Nobody likes her' Yawn. How often is this thrown at women in politics across the globe?" Ms Clifford-Lee tweeted.

"She left the [presidential] race and it’s interesting that they picked her because, in theory, they should win California," Trump added.
"But I don't know, we will make them play for that. You always pick someone who is going up in the polls."

"It's very simple to remember - if Biden wins, China wins, it is as simple as that.
