kamla Harris gave her first sitdown interview last night as the Democratic presidential candidate and while political observers are breaking down her performance the responses of Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance are also under scrutiny they're being accused of overt misogyny in their attacks on Harris cbc's Katie Nicholson is in Washington and is following the story for us so Katie let's go first to this new source this latest source of criticism for the Trump team yeah so let's start with JD Vance of of course Trump's running mate last night he posted an old viral video on X of a teenage beauty contestant who badly flubbed a question and he wrote Breaking I have gotten a hold of the full Kamala Harris CNN interview and that post in and of itself trades on of course misogynist and reductive tropes about beauty queens being stupid and insinuating that Harris by extension fits in this category so this morning when he was told that the young contestant in that video Caitlyn Upton was traumatized by how that embarrassing moment was so widely shared back in 2007 and even contemplated suicide JD Vance said this politics has gotten way too lame John way too boring you can have some fun while making a good argument to the American people about how you're going to improve their lives I I'm not going to apologize for posting a joke but I wish the best for Caitlyn I hope that she's doing well and again what I'd say is one bad moment shouldn't Define anybody and the best way to deal with this stuff is to laugh at ourselves of course the trouble with that answer is that Vance isn't laughing at himself the Optics if you parse it he's making a joke about a woman at the expense of another woman but that is not the only post that's getting this team into hot water one Post in particular shared by Donald Trump a photo of Hillary Clinton and comma Harrison I I'm going to warn you now that the joke attached to it is very vulgar so if you have little ones that you don't want to to hear this just sort of turn off the TV this is your moment uh it basically says um it's funny how [ __ ] impacted both of their careers differently that of course a reference to Bill Clinton's inappropriate behavior with a White House intern as well as an insinuation that Harris slept her way to a position of influence so none of that likely to win over many Women Voters wow okay so oddly enough the Trump team is now trying to turn things around with the female voters particularly on issues related to Reproductive Rights what are you seeing on that front yeah so this was a bit of an ibrow raising pledge from candidate Trump last night in Wisconsin essentially to get the government to pay for IVF here is Donald Trump making that promise for IVF and I've been looking at it and what we're going to do is for people that are using IVF which is fertilization we are going the government is going to pay for it or we're going to get or mandate your insurance company to pay for it which is going to be great we're going to do that so the problem with this promise is that the Supreme Court aided by Trump appointees overturn the constitutional right to abortion which opened the door to an Alabama ruling that Frozen embryos are children and that in turn created confusion on how embryos should be treated and stored and used which in turn created a chill on IVF treatment so while this pledge may be aimed at Suburban women wishing to have children through IVF Trump's own previous political Maneuvers have complicated This Promise it's really important to note here that Trump has lost significant ground with women voters since Harris became the Presidential nominee a wrers Reuters rather poll that was just uh published yesterday showed that Harris has a 13 percentage point lead over Trump among Women Voters so that's up from a ninepoint lead in July and these latest Antics aren't likely to help those numbers Natasha cbc's Katie Nicholson in Washington thank you Katie you're welcome
