Trump was mad with how close the election was looking like it was going to be and he was saying many things about a lot of people including Kamala Harris. He used hateful words or hinted at things that shouldn't be okay.

Here is another article that backs this up. Both cite the New York Times as their source, which is a trustworthy publication.

While I don't disagree with anything in your factcheck, I would suggest that you go to the source of the story and see the actual report by the New York Times in the future. There might be a mis-telling of the story by either the New York Times or the publications that are retelling the story.

I think this factcheck could have a lot more in terms of confirmation, while including that New York Times is a trustworthy publication is generally true, any news source can be wrong. In the original article by the New York Times, they cited 7 anonymous sources who were present at the private meeting during which Donald Trump referred to Kamala Harris as a slur. Additionally, by checking the sources, author credibility, and repetition of the news story by other news stories makes your argument that much stronger.
