John,
Earlier this week, Joe Biden announced that Kamala Harris will be his official running mate — making her the first Black and Indian American woman nominated by a major party as a vice presidential candidate.
It was a long overdue accomplishment. We celebrated all the hard work women, especially women of color, have been doing for decades to make this historic moment possible.
But we barely had time to celebrate before Trump started hurling his signature sexist insults against Kamala Harris. Within hours of Joe Biden announcing Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, Donald Trump launched a misogynistic and racist attack against her, calling her ‘nasty,’ ‘disrespectful,’ and ‘phony.’
These are the words of a sexist, pathetic man threatened by a powerful woman of color. We knew this was coming. It’s straight out of Trump’s playbook and there’s no doubt that this is just the start of his attacks against Kamala.
Unfortunately, it is not surprising that Trump, a racist and sexist person, would employ racist and sexist language to try to keep the Oval Office.
Here’s the thing, it’s not going to work. Women, and more specifically women of color, will determine the outcome of this election. Trump’s racism and misogyny are only getting more people energized to vote him out in November.
We can count on Trump to keep spewing his vitriol, and he can count on us to turn out a record number of women voters and ensure he is a one-term president.
There’s no doubt that Trump’s attacks will become even more despicable as we get closer to November 3rd. That’s why it’s important we show off the power of our movement and let Trump know that his attacks will not go unanswered this election.
In solidarity,
Women’s March
