Kamau Marshall, Director of Strategic Communications for the Joe Biden presidential campaign, called President Trump’s campaign ad yesterday on Democrats’ obsession with impeachment racist and sexist, saying on Twitter, “This is a problematic video from a problematic president, particularly targeting people of color and powerful women.”
Screen image from Trump campaign ad showing Rep. Al Green (D-TX) saying, “If we don’t impeach this president, he will get reelected.”
Marshall’s statement was retweeted by Biden campaign spokesman Bill Russo, putting the campaign’s imprimatur on the statement.

Ilhan Omar (MN), senior Obama administration official Jen Psaki, presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (CA), Rep. Adam Schiff (CA), Rep. Maxine Waters (CA), House Majority Whip Rep. Jim Clyburn (SC), Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (CA) and Rep. Al Green (TX).
Full statement by Marshall and retweeted by Russo, “The first person in this Trump video is the former CBC Chairman, @CedricRichmond. VP @JoeBiden has said – there’s no low too low for this president. This is a problematic video from a problematic president, particularly targeting people of color and powerful women.”
Marshall added, “The last person in the video is my former boss @RepAlGreen who’s been at DJT for sometime now. I stand by and support these individuals for calling Trump out on all his rhetoric. He isn’t above the law. As VP
@JoeBiden has said, this is a national problem.”
