Former President Donald Trump’s efficiency on the NABJ convention in Chicago didn’t go properly. The looks rapidly derailed amid controversy over whether or not it was allowed to happen. One of many moments that may resonate within the coming days is Trump’s questioning of Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identification.
Addressing the Republican chief’s assertion that Vice President Harris was a DEI worker, Trump stated he “did not know she was black.”
“She’s at all times had Indian ancestry and he or she was simply selling Indian ancestry. I did not know she was black till just a few years in the past when she occurred to grow to be black and now she desires to be referred to as black. So I do not know, she is Indian or black? Trump stated.
“I respect both of them, however she clearly does not as a result of she’s at all times been Indian after which hastily she turns round and turns into black,” he added. “I feel somebody ought to look into that as properly.”
“I didn’t know she was black till just a few years in the past, when she occurred to be black.”
