Former President Donald Trump declared he liked cows on Friday before he took a shot at Vice President Kamala Harris, telling a six-year old Massachusetts boy that the Democratic nominee wants to ban his favorite farm animal.

During Mr. Trump’s appearance on “Fox and Friends,” a video clip was aired of the boy, who said he lived on a farm, asking Mr. Trump to name his favorite animal.

“Well, I love cows. But if we go with Kamala, you won’t have any cows anymore because it won’t be allowed. I don’t want to ruin this kid’s day,” he said.

“I love cows. I think they’re so cute and so beautiful and so good. But according to Kamala, who’s a radical left lunatic, you will not have any cows anymore, so we have to vote her out,” Mr. Trump said.

The X account KamalaHQ posted the clip and responded to Mr. Trump’s remarks with four question marks in ellipses.

Republicans posted a 2019 CNN “climate crisis” town hall that Ms. Harris participated in during her first run for the White House. At that event, an attendee said that certain countries had “changed their dietary guidelines to reduce the consumption of red meat in light of the impact of the climate change,” and asked if she too would support changing the dietary guidelines of the U.S. 

“We actually have to have a real priority at the highest level of government around what we eat and in terms of healthy eating, because we have a problem in America,” Ms. Harris said.

Denmark will become the first country to tax livestock farmers for the greenhouse gases emitted by their cows, sheep and pigs beginning in 2030.

The goal is to lessen Danish greenhouse gas emissions by 70% from 1990 levels by 2030.

Mr. Trump has made it part of his campaign speech to criticize Ms. Harris over this issue.

During an Aug. 3 campaign stop in Atlanta, he implored, “She wants to get rid of your cows. No more cows.”

More recently, in Nevada, he told attendees, “They want to do things like no more cows and no windows in buildings.”
