Washington, D.C.–Today, Correct The Record Communications Director Elizabeth Shappell released the following statement on Donald Trump’s rally in West Palm Beach, Florida:
“Donald Trump has officially gone full Breitbart. This was Trump’s most authoritarian and disturbing speech of his entire campaign—and demonstrated just how much his campaign has given up on winning over any new voters. In West Palm Beach, Trump monstrously called on his supporters to dig up dirt and go after the women who have accused him of sexual assault. He misogynistically denied attacking a People Magazine reporter by invoking her looks. Let’s not forget, Trump has literally bragged about kissing and groping women without their consent. Then, in his most blatantly dictatorial rhetoric yet, Trump once called for Hillary Clinton to be jailed and said a dark global conspiracy of bankers and the media is aligned against him. As his campaign melts down, Trump is retreating deeper and deeper into his dark, misogynistic, mendacious and perverse alternate reality.”
