‘Is she Black or Indian?’ - Trump under fire after questioning Harris’ identity

A fortnight ago Donald Trump was on top of the world. Up in the polls against a besieged Joe Biden, he soaked up rapturous applause at the Republican National Convention and called for unity in America.

What a difference two weeks makes.

With Biden out of the race, his presumptive replacement Kamala Harris has been dominating the airwaves and attention. Maybe that's why Mr Trump has chosen to question her ethnicity, prompting Democrat outrage and dominating the headlines again.

she already said she's indian. channel 4 propaganda machine working full time to cover this one up.

I have seen interviews while she was running for attorney general, she described her self as Indian, in that interview she didn't mention that she was black at all. There was a little puff piece going into her past and it was ALL about Delhi and how her mother brought her up as an Indian. ZERO mention of any African heritage.

You are playing identity politics, why others can't ask your identity?

[kayshakes]

I seen clips of Kamala saying herself that she is Indian

We must unburden ourselves from what has been. Unburden ourselves from what will be. So we can unburden ourselves from what is.

[alato]

The whole crowd laughed 😂😂 cuz we all remember her being indian

[SarahMohamed-sq]

Trying to make Trump look wrong but she her self said she is Indian

[ControversialTopics]

These are only clips. Why not show the whole sentence in context.
I watched the whole interview and they kept Trump waiting 35 mins, no apologies, no greetings, the lady in blue was aggressive and not polite.

[richardnixon]

She's obviously both. I don't know why this is so hard to understand.

Wasn't C4 one of the outlets that was supporting Huw Edwards not too long back?

[shaabandaud]

Trump:I have known her as an Indian for years, we've gone to many events where she only ate pilau, briyani and drunk Chai, but a few years back she started eating KFC and started behaving like she's from Chicago 😂

[shac]

This is laugable from you channel 4. The media really does think we are all stupid haha

Having a Jamaican dad doesn’t make you African American. That’s not the history or culture of those who have been here for 400 years

[FredThePhoenix]

She's Indian or Black depending which benefits her the most. It's a known Democrat strategy to play the race card as much as possible. More effective if you have two.

[Brass-nvrj]

Is this possibly the lowest chanel 4 news will ever go?

[m.b]

South Indian, Irish and Jamaican but identifies as Black for votes.

[gordonlyon]

What is the Controversy she has always said she was Indian

[bryanbelshaw]

She identified as Indian at EVERY turn. Her own party and the media identified her as Indian American.You can't have seasonal blackness. She was the one that denounced her fathers side of the family.
Now the media are trying to spin her as some sort of African American icon.
