Former President Donald Trump has been accused of using a derogatory slur aimed at women to describe Vice President Kamala Harris in two separate private conversations, according to a report by the New York Times.

The publication cited two anonymous sources who overheard Trump call Harris a "b——." Trump's campaign has denied these allegations. Spokesperson Steven Cheung refuted the claims, stating, "That is not language President Trump has used to describe Kamala and it's not how the campaign would characterize her."

Trump has previously made derogatory remarks about women and political opponents. He has referred to Harris and other women, including 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, as ''nasty" and has made crude comments about women in the past. Last month, Trump falsely claimed that Harris had misrepresented her race to voters.
