Critics slam Trump 'suburban housewife' tweet as racist, sexist 'dog scream' play for white voters
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump ramped up his warnings of a suburban "invasion" Wednesday in a tweet that critics described as both sexist and racist.
The president's missive, in which he suggested a Black senator from New Jersey would be in charge of overseeing an "invasion" of neighborhoods that would undermine the "safety" for "the suburban housewife" came a day after his rival in the November election made history by choosing a black woman as his running mate.
In the tweet, he made reference to the policies of Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., who is Black. As a presidential candidate last year, Booker released a plan to make housing more affordable and get rid of housing discrimination.
"The 'suburban housewife' will be voting for me," Trump wrote. "They want safety & are thrilled that I ended the long running program where low income housing would invade their neighborhood. Biden would reinstall it, in a bigger form, with Corey Booker in charge!"

Do suburban housewives per se even exist? Every couple I know both spouses work. It's an economic necessity these days.
