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.
He didn’t just seem to recognize it, he said so explicitly.
Definitely won’t see that from Trump.
Good point. At the time, I didn’t give him the benefit of the doubt and kinda forgot over time.
