Trump Mocks Kavanaugh Accuser
Background Information
Found on my Facebook, this news story from Good Morning America amplifies the propaganda spoken by Trump at a rally, where he mocks Dr. Ford, the woman who reported a sexual assault by the Judge when she was a teen.
Technique Used
Respond to Audience Needs
This is propaganda because
Trump is betting that his target audience of white men will be pleased to see this woman further humiliated for offering information about the character of a potential Supreme Court judge. He is appealing to audience needs to feel validated for their own sexual harassment while also attacking women in general, including those in the #MeToo movement.
