Her name is a dog whistle. There was a right wing talking point that she enabled and facilitated the unrest.
Rawlings-Blake also had a prominent role at the convention. She replaced DWS for the public business part of the convention, including the roll call. She's been appearing all week as a Hillary surrogate, and she's doing a great job.

Literally, because his emotional development will have arrested at a child's level.

Trump's decision to skip the 2016 National Urban League conference hosted in Baltimore last week as a sign of the Republican presidential nominee's "unwillingness to extend himself to the African-American community." #Notready

Her policies are irrelevant to him.
