Vice-president brushes off remarks by Donald Trump in which he said Harris ‘happened to turn Black’ a number of years ago
Kamala Harris has shrugged off Donald Trump’s questioning of her racial identity, saying that it was “the same old show” and that “America deserves better”, at a rally in Texas.
On Wednesday, in an appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), Trump antagonised senior Black journalists and questioned Harris’s race, saying, “She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black.”
His interview, which was meant to last an hour, according to Axios, was cut short after 34 minutes.
I think it might matter to black voters? I’m only trying to seriously answer your question.
i’m sure. but here’s an old white racist with a large black audience (many of whom, i’m sure, are probably also biracial) making the implication that they need him to tell them who’s black and who isn’t.
it’s pants-on-head stupid, no matter how they try to spin it
Bingo, he’s trying to discourage them from voting. He’s using one of his common strategies of looking for a reason an opponent is popular and saying whatever that reason is is untrue. Apparently it being something immutable like ethnicity is no object to a dumbass like him.
