Why does this look less like a debate and more like couple's therapy😂

[adropofgoldensun]

Trump used to be white, all of a sudden, he is orange, but I don't care 😂

[kandydewey]

“ I want to ask a question about the bigger picture tonight” goes on to talk about something that doesn’t matter at this time. Wars, homelessness, the border, and all the other important issues are totally ignored. This is why I stopped watching mainstream media. 🤷🏽‍♀️

DOES ANYONE ELSE FIND THIS EXTREMELY SAD....WE HAVE AMERICANS LIVING IN CARS AND ON THE STREETS. AMERICANS HAVE LOST HEALTHCARE AND SO MUCH HUNGER... AND THIS IS THE QUESTION THEY ARE ASKED...FOCUS ON OUR AMERICANS AND OUR COUNTRY AND POLICIES AND HELPING THY NEIGHBOR.

[niclewis]

For someone who says he doesn't care he sure cares enough to never stop talking about it.

[josephinealvarado]

Yet he was the one that brought it up. Over and over.

[mmm]

If he doesn't care, why did he mention it? He didn't do very well at all in the debate

[michaelwilcox]

This is the same guy who said, in a senate committee hearing, that a group of indigenous people “didn’t look Indian to him”.

[leonestello]

"NOT BLACK😳" Why's he say it like that🙄🤣🤣🤣

[Homotekno]

What kind of question is this for a presidential debate? Its nonsense...

[aliceclary]

It’s a joke, and a slap in the face what media is doing or rather not doing

[jbones]

Just wanna say hello and welcome to all the people in the comments who are just now discovering that biracial people exist. Learning is fun!

[shirlenefarrar]

Even her own father came out publically and said that she was not black.

[urbanmusicgal]

Why aren’t the moderators asking Kamala to follow up on issues she evaded?

[koebestarr]

Why are they asking questions not about the American people. It’s sad.

[ABC]

People deserve to know why she’s played the Indian card when she’s in front of Indians, and played the black card when she’s in front of black people. Plus the fact that she fakes a southern accent when she’s in a state with more blacks

[Trisa]

But he did! He did care enough to say such on her race. Horrible human. So sick of the hatred.

[bradparmar]

She does not only have Indian mother but ALSO Indian Grandfather on paternal side.

[bigbangbtty]

Her own father who is half irish Jamaican and half Hindu Indian..says he is not black. Jamaican is a nationality nit a ethnicity.

[JulieDillonjd]

He was invited to the black journalist convention. THEY ask the racist question! Kamala was also invited, she didn’t even have the respect to show up.
