Harris rebukes Trump for remarks about protecting women
WASHINGTON (AA) – Kamala Harris rebuked Donald Trump on Thursday for saying that he would be the protector of women “whether the women like it or not.”
The Republican nominee made the remarks Wednesday at a rally in Wisconsin. “Whether the women like it or not, I’m going to protect them,’” said the former president.
Speaking to reporters before heading to the West Coast for the last leg of her campaign, Harris called Trump’s remarks “offensive.”
“It actually is, I think, very offensive to women in terms of not understanding their agency, their authority, their right and their ability to make decisions about their own lives, including their own bodies,” said the Democratic nominee.
“And this is just the latest on a series of reveals by the former president on how he thinks about women and their agency,” she said.
