WASHINGTON Donald Trump has demonstrated for years that when he is panicking about something bad happening to him a court ruling against him, a key witness testifying against him, his campaign numbers sinking he lashes out.

We are clearly in one of those moments.

As Vice President Kamala Harris is fast rising in the polls, now leading or tied with Trump in all seven swing states, Trump is resorting to vile sexually-themed attacks against her.

On Wednesday, Trump shared a screenshot on social media showing a photo of Harris with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Below the image, which went out to Trumps 7.6 million followers, a person in the screenshot wrote, Funny how blowjobs impacted both of their careers differently.

The comment is a jab at the vice presidents 1990s-era relationship with Willie Brown, who went on to become the mayor of San Francisco a relationship that Harris political opponents have been attempting to frame as a sexual quid-pro-quo as well as a reference to former President Bill Clintons affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Trumps post came a day after Fox News host Jesse Watters, a loyal Trump ally, accused Harris of having no stated foreign policy plans and said she would be paralyzed in the Situation Room while the generals have their way with her.

Not even two weeks ago, the GOP presidential nominee shared another video on social media mocking Harris for having spent her whole damn life down on her knees, another suggestion that she has given sexual favors for political gain. The video, which parodied the Alanis Morissette song Ironic, flashed images of Brown and second gentleman Doug Emhoff as that line played.

Its disgusting, and its entirely predictable, say leaders of prominent womens advocacy groups.

This is the Donald Trump playbook, in particular, when hes on the defensive and feels he is not driving the conversation, said Jessica Mackler, the president of EMILYs List, a national organization that helps elect Democratic women who support abortion rights.

He uses these really gross, really sexist, often racist and sexual-in-nature attacks. It does two things: It panders to his base and gets them riled up, and two, it seeks to create chaos around him and he can move into whatever space that is, she said. So the more that we see this movement by the Harris campaign, the more we see this enthusiasm, the more he is pushed to these all-time new lows.

Mackler added, There is no limit.
