Trump questions Kamala Harris' racial identity: 'Is she Indian or is she black?'

Former President Donald Trump took the stage at the National Association for Black Journalists convention Wednesday in Chicago, attempting to court more minority voters in his continuous campaign to expand the GOP base.

His presence was met with pushback from locals and from within the NABJ. Left-wing protesters organized a march outside the downtown Hilton location, and the co-chair of the NABJ convention, Karen Attiah, stepped down from her role, arguing that Trump was being “platformed” by being interviewed at the event.

Trump’s campaign said the expected panel would focus on the “most pressing issues” for the black community and argued that the former president “accomplished more for black Americans than any other president in recent history by implementing America First policies on the economy, immigration, energy, law and order, and foreign policy.”

This was the media's best shot to take down Trump and they failed. 😂

[Timewave-Zer]

⁠remember, she ran off of being “Indian” back in 2020😂😂

[JohnSmith-iljn]

Kamala is an Indian name. Thank you for your cooperation.

[AndThereYouGo]

😂😂😂😂 Joe Biden2020: "I want to pick a black woman for Scotus & for VP!" Dems now: "How DARE you say Kam's DEI!!!!?"

[Supras]

Bravo President Trump! You remained calm while the rude democrat showed her hatred. Trump 2024! MY PRESIDENT!

[NNShephard]

The Indians in this country need to ask why isn’t there a democrat push to get their votes?

[fruitful]

Kamala's mother and father are Hindu Indian. Kamala is named after their great goddess Kamala one of India's greatest gods.

[billysouth]

Actually Harris is Indian, per the Sacramento Bee "Watch Kamala Harris sworn in as first Indian-American Senator", press gaslighting as normal!

Biden didn’t know Kamala was Black until the 2020 debate😂

[Dusty-McDusterson]

I don't think anyone claims her.
Let's call her a"Woman of -Color- Cackle
✌🏾

5 years ago Harris was on Mindy Kaling's show and during the cooking segment, they discussed Kamala's Indian heritage, because it was something they had in common

[tetraguytx]

He's now ignited a discussion among black Americans -- and particularly black men, many of whom were already inclined to vote for him -- about whether Kamala is in fact black. For him, that's a helpful discussion for people to have. Just because Trump's style of politics isn't your style doesn't make his style wrong.

There seems to be no shortage of rude "reporters" who talk over people, interrupt, insist, repeat, freeze up when questioned all the marks of an amateur

[KanvasIAM]

😂😂😂she was indian then she was black a couple years now....man my president speaks the truth😂😂😂😂

[electricman]

Trump asked what the definition of DEI is, and the reporter only told him what DEI stood for, not what the definition was.

In 2016 the DIYA Network did an interview with Kacklin' Kamala, saying she was the first Indian-American Senator.

[vavictus]

She’s 3/4ths Indian. Part Irish, and 1000% whatever is politically expedient.

[joanjasper]

She is whatever serves her best and gets her the most votes.

[PotatoCamp]

@1:19 Trumps urge to say “she went black and never went back” 💀 haha

[Thomas-vmjy]

Black and Asian? What is the reporter talking about?

[brendanrowan]

If anyone else said this they would be cancelled
