Kamala Harris inches ahead of him in the polls. Sarah Matthews served as deputy press secretary to Trump from June 2020 to January 2021. She appeared as a guest on MSNBC’s Inside with Jen Psaki on Monday.
“I think that he feels this election slipping away from him, and that’s where you’re beginning to see him spiral and cling to these conspiracy theories, as you noted with the AI-generated crowds, which obviously can be easily disproven,” said Matthews. Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!Trump recently claimed, with zero evidence, that the Harris campaign had used AI to generate images of a crowd waiting to greet the Vice President at an airport in Michigan. Trump has long been known to place great importance on crowd size.
Since becoming the Democratic nominee, Harris and her Vice Presidential pick, Tim Walz, have spoken at some particularly large rallies. “I know it’s insanity,” Matthews continued. “There will be people out there that will believe it, though, because he’s pushing it.
And that’s what happens when he gets desperate, is he pushes these conspiracy theories.”Matthews went on to point to other Trump appearances where he appeared defensive. This included his Q&A with a group of Black journalists in which Trump questioned whether Harris was actually Black. “These are not winning campaign messages,” Matthews said.
“But that is what he does when he feels like he’s under attack, is he uses these kinds of lines of defense that don’t make much sense for campaigning.”This is not the first time Matthews has been critical of Trump. She appeared before the January 6th committee to detail what was happening behind the scenes while the rioting in the capitol unfolded. Matthews said Trump should have put out a message “almost instantly” calling for calm, rather than delaying.
