Democratic Rep. David Trone of Maryland cut out a portion of his new Senate primary TV ad after a coalition of black women slammed it for being racist, Axios reported on Thursday.
Trone recently launched an attack ad against his black Democratic opponent, Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, during which a local black politician argued that the “U.S. Senate is not a place for training wheels.” Trone’s campaign removed the “training wheels” phrase from the video after over 650 black women wrote in a letter that the ad’s sentiment was “not only disparaging and dismissive but also echoes tones of misogyny and racism,” according to Axios.
