Annie Andrews
Role at the time: Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in South Carolina, speaking to reporters after a town hall in Winnsboro
Statement summary
After a town hall in Winnsboro, Andrews responds to the remarks Trump made about her at a rally the day before. She says he said horrible, dishonest things about her, and that if doing so would lower gas and grocery prices and keep rural hospitals open, he can say whatever he wants.
“Yes, he stood on that stage and said horrible things about me, dishonest things about me. If doing that was going to lower gas prices and grocery prices and keep our rural hospitals open, he can say whatever he wants to say”
Why we used this label
The reference point is Trump's use of an anti-transgender slur for Andrews while campaigning for Darline Graham, which he repeated at the rally Andrews is responding to. Andrews calls what Trump said about her there horrible and dishonest, which condemns it.
