Rep. David Trone (D-MD) came under fire from fellow Democrats once again, this time for an ad that sparked outrage among black voters.
Trone’s campaign aired an attack ad against his Senate primary rival, Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, last week, during which a black supporter argued that the “U.S. Senate is not a place for training wheels,” taking aim at her record. The remarks were met with outrage from some black women, who claimed it was racist and misogynistic, Axios reported.
In a letter signed by 650 black women, among them former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile, the group complained that the phrase was “not only disparaging and dismissive but also echoes tones of misogyny and racism.”
Despite claims of racism, the comments in the pro-Trone ad, which featured a host of black state officials, were made by a black official.
Alsobrooks, mosley, et al, should never continue in politics. Just useless air breathers who should obtain taxpayers monies.
If Donna Brazile doesn’t like it, it’s probably a good thing.
It is so much fun to watch them eat each other!
