Just a tad desperate.

Lawyers for Bill Cosby claim racism is fueling the sexual assault allegations against him.

“Mr. Cosby is no stranger to discrimination and racial hatred,” his lawyers said in a statement. They took special aim at lawyer Gloria Allred, who represents over 30 of Cosby’s alleged victims. “When the media repeats her accusations—with no evidence, no trial and no jury—we are moved backwards as a country and away from the America that our civil rights leaders sacrificed so much to create.”

His legal team says Allred is using racial bias to gin up a case against Cosby.

The 79-year-old comedian faces a June 2017 trial for the alleged sexual assault of Andrea Constand at his Pennsylvania home. It’s the only claim that has led to criminal charges, but over 50 women have stepped forward with similar stories. Prosecutors want 13 of them to testify.
