Lara Trump, ever a fount of quotable quotes, shined on this week on Fox News. As one of a million possible post-election guests the network could’ve gotten they picked the one person most likely to say something idiotic, and she came through for us all.

As with any election, whichever side wins is going to point to the reasons that they won. Likewise, the losing side will point fingers as well, with no one wanting to take the blame for missing the mark.

But it’s when the winning side declares that they know why the losing team couldn’t deliver, that’s when the arrogance really takes center stage. The truth is, there’s no clear reason that America would have voted so overwhelmingly for a candidate that only became a worse candidate by day, and certainly miles worse than he was the last time he lost.

But Lara thinks she knows.

When asked on Fox what she believed was the reason Kamala Harris lost the election, she was blunt. “Just insulting people and trying to harass people into voting for them,” she said, was the problem. “That’s kind of how — when you lose the American public. When people say, ‘You know what? I don’t want to be insulted into voting for someone. I want to actually look at how this person might make my life better, and make the future better for this country.”

“I think when they got to the point of constant mudslinging,” Lara went on, “and not really talking about what they’d do for the American people, I think that’s what lost them the election.”

And then the unthinkable happened.

The Fox News host reminded Lara Trump that she was literally describing her father-in-law. As in, this is a man who focus-groups derogatory names for people. His hands are permanently stained with all of the mud he’s slung.

“But couldn’t Democrats say the same?” the host asked her. “Because during the campaign, Trump called the vice president ‘dumb,’ cursed her at one point, and questioned her racial identity.”

And by “at one point,” what the host meant was CONSTANTLY. Trump called Kamala dumb at literally every opportunity, questioned her racial identity over and over, and cursed her (as in, straight-up called her a b*tch) at LEAST three times that I have videos of around here somewhere.

Donald Trump was the poster boy for mudslinging. I’m surprised he didn’t have to stop an hour before every rally to do a rain dance to make more mud.

So why would Kamala saying anything nasty doom her campaign, but not Donald’s? Well, let’s go back to Lara, who certainly knows, because she was smirking the entire time the Fox host was recounting Trump’s mudslinging:

“Well, I think whenever you see Donald Trump say things like this, this is not out of character for him. This is who he’s always been.”

I’m not kidding, she actually said people EXPECT this of him. Watch:

Lara Trump’s defense of Donald Trump’s constant insults, racism, and derogatory personal attacks is it’s “not out of character for him, this is who he’s always been”. Let that sink in. (Video: Fox News) pic.twitter.com/exBCw3GeUR

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. If Kamala Harris had been a complete douchebag from the beginning, she could’ve gotten people used to hearing her say vile, horrible things about everyone she doesn’t like. People would already know her as the kind of person who would, say, start trash-talking Fox News immediately the second they said anything that wasn’t ass-kissingly positive about her.

What other traits should she have picked up from Trump that would’ve won her this election, Lara? Should she notoriously refuse to pay people that work for her? Should she have skipped out on the bills to the cities that held her rallies? Maybe she should have obsessed over her hair for the final month of the campaign, like some kind of loon.

I know! She should have traveled back in time, sexually assaulted someone, been later found guilty of it, and then trash-talked her victim so much for the year that followed her loss in court that she got sued AGAIN and lost, this time for lying about the victim to the point that they got death threats from her fans.

Way to sell the American dream, Lara. “Welcome to America: If You’re Enough of a Dick, They’ll Make You President.”

In fact, I think we should make that the new RNC motto, you know, since Lara’s the co-chair of it these days. I say we absolutely never let the Republicans forget that their spokesperson says Trump beat Kamala in the election because he’s always been a sodding, accordion-handed, raving felony factory with golf balls for brains and a mean streak.

Somebody put that on a billboard, stat.
