‘Rape,’ ‘Dumb Women’ And ‘Bad Genes’: Inside Trump’s Week Of Unhinged Rants
HuffPost
The GOP presidential nominee is dialing up hateful rhetoric just weeks before Election Day.
Even by the usual Donald Trump standards, this week was bonkers.
The Republican presidential nominee went on unhinged, racist rants against women and immigrants, denigrated one of the largest majority-Black cities in the U.S., threatened news networks with retaliation and spread falsehoods about critical assistance to people devastated by back-to-back hurricanes that ravaged several states.
The former president flooded the zone with so many ridiculous and offensive things that individual comments struggled to break through the noise. Some Republicans pushed back against a few of the most outrageous lies, without calling Trump out, while the overwhelming volume of garbage forced the media to move on.
Yet for all his digressions and struggles to stay on message, the presidential race remains extremely tight 24 days before Election Day. Trump is statistically tied with Vice President Kamala Harris in polls of critical battleground states that will determine the winner of November’s vote.
