Analysis: After the Barr Hearing, President Trump singles out Sen. Kamala Harris
By Eugene Scott Eugene Scott Reporter covering identity politics for The Fix Email Bio Follow May 2 at 2:13 PM President Trump regularly criticizes his critics. He has called Joe Biden “sleepy” and Sen. Bernie Sanders “crazy.” But he seems to save some of his most personal attacks for women and, specifically, women of color, such as Sen. Kamala D. Harris.
More than 2 million people watched a clip of Harris’s questioning on Twitter, and her team used it in a fundraising push Wednesday night. Trump then expanded his comment to include the other Democratic presidential contenders on the panel, Sens. Cory Booker and Amy Klobuchar . “You have three of them running against me, and they were up there ranting and raving like lunatics, frankly,” Trump said. “How is that fair?”It’s not the first time he has referred to the candidate, who is polling at 4 percent among Democrats in the most recent Post-ABC survey, as “nasty.
“Black women are not supposed to push back, and when they do, they’re deemed to be domineering, aggressive, threatening, loud,” Trina Jones, who has studied racial stereotyping and how it plays into the lives of African American women, told the BBC.
