Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump on Tuesday drew mockery over why she doesn’t believe new polling that suggests Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is now increasingly seen as the “change candidate” in the 2024 election.

“No one buys that Kamala Harris has the capability” to be president, former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.

“And polls like that, I think, are absolutely ridiculous,” she continued.

Then came the claim:

I get slipped beverage napkins every time I get on an airplane saying, ‘We can’t wait to vote for Trump,’ ‘Go Trump,’ ‘Trump 2024.’ Or people just coming up to me these days, Laura, everywhere I go, saying how excited they are to get out and vote.

Some commenters on social media mockingly suggested it happened to her while on board her father-in-law’s private jet.

That’s toilet paper, ma’am…

On Trumps plane he has paper napkins printed with the text “Vote Trump” and now they can be yours for just the insane low price of $199.99.
