UltraViolet: “As Trump Slides in Polls, He is Increasingly Leaning on Racist and Sexist Attacks”

After Trump Targets Pelosi and Harris, Women’s Group Warns Media Not to Fall for Trump’s Dogwhistles, Says Default to These Attacks Shows He’s Scared

WISCONSIN — Last night, at a campaign event in Wisconsin, Donald Trump, whose numbers in Wisconsin continue to lag behind what he would need for a victory in the State, defaulted to a series of racist and sexist attacks against Democratic women – specifically, Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris.

UltraViolet, a leading national women’s organization, warns that Trump’s default to racist and sexist attacks against women is a desperate attempt to revive his flagging campaign, and warn the media to call out those attacks for what they are – misogyny and racism.

Shaunna Thomas, co-founder and executive director of UltraViolet Action, a leading national women’s group explained:

“Donald Trump is beyond desperate. That’s why he’s trying to revive his losing campaign by appealing to the worst, most deplorable but sadly common emotions of the Rebublican base – racism and misogyny. His attacks on Speaker Pelosi and Senator Harris show he has no record to run on, no vision for a second term and no ability to give voters a reason to vote for him. All he has is racism and sexism. “
