Criticism Escalates Over Trump's Rallies in Sundown Towns
News summary

Donald Trump is facing significant backlash for holding campaign rallies in 'sundown towns,' communities with a history of racial segregation where Black individuals were historically unwelcome after dark. Critics argue that his choice of locations, including Howell, Michigan, La Crosse, Wisconsin, and Johnstown, Pennsylvania, signals an intentional appeal to racist sentiments among his supporters. Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign has labeled this strategy a 'dog whistle' to racists, while civil rights groups emphasize the ongoing efforts to reclaim these towns from their discriminatory pasts. The controversy has been amplified by social media, where viral posts highlight the troubling pattern of Trump's rally sites. Trump's campaign has denied any malicious intent behind these choices, but many observers believe the locations are too deliberate to be coincidental. This aligns with Trump's history of stirring racial tensions and has raised alarms about his courting of white supremacist groups.
