Trump closes campaign with misogynistic slur, violent rhetoric against women

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his vice-presidential running mate JD Vance closed out their run for the White House by targeting powerful women leaders with name-calling, a misogynistic slur, and surrounding them with violent imagery.

Monday night, with a young child sitting just a few feet away, Donald Trump went on a misogynistic rant attacking House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, the first and only woman to serve as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, which she did twice.

“She’s a crooked person,” Trump said of the Democratic U.S. Congresswoman from California. “She is a bad person. Evil. She’s an evil sick, crazy. B—. Oh, no. It starts with a B, but I won’t say it.”

“I wanna say it,” he declared, pleading, riling up the audience who cheered him in.

When Trump said “B—,” he appeared to mouth the word “bitch,” according to multiple reports including HuffPost.

Also on Monday, Trump asked his supporters if he is allowed to “hit” Democratic former First Lady Michelle Obama, after she accused him of “gross incompetence,” and alleged an “obvious mental decline.”

And, after praising boxer Mike Tyson, Trump on Monday, surround by women holding “Women for Trump” signs, responded to a supporter by saying it would be “interesting” to see one of the world’s best heavyweight boxers in a ring with his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee.

Earlier in the day, U.S. Senator JD Vance, the freshman Republican from Ohio, told supporters Vice President Harris is “trash.”

U.S. Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) responded, writing: “Dear JD Vance: Have you found that calling a woman trash has worked for you Because we generally don’t forget that shit.”

Last week, Trump was flooded with tremendous criticism after appearing to suggest Republican former U.S. Congresswoman Liz Cheney should face a firing squad. While there was disagreement as to what the top-line meaning of his remarks were (some said it was a call for execution, others that she should face a firing squad, others that she was too much of a coward to fight,) historian and professor Heather Cox Richardson wrote on her popular Substack: “Trump’s suggestion that Cheney should face a firing squad seems to be a general expression of the anger of white men accustomed to dictating the terms of public life when faced with the reality that they can no longer count on being able to cow the people around them.”

David Rothkopf, the foreign policy, national security, and political affairs analyst and commentator, Tuesday morning wrote: “Yesterday Donald Trump ended his campaign calling a strong woman a bitch and his VP candidate called the actual vice president of the United States ‘trash.’ They are the worst ticket for women in the history of the country. Reject their misogyny today.”
