Donald Trump questions Kamala Harris’ racial identity

Donald Trump has openly questioned whether Kamala Harris ‘became a black person’ to get ahead in politics.

This comes after Mr Trump’s appearance at an event for Black Journalists.

Washington Correspondent Annelise Nielsen says Donald Trump was asked about commentary from Republicans about Kamala Harris being in her role because she “is a black woman”.

Everyone knows he's telling the Truth. People are just afraid to point it out.🤷🏾‍♂️

He didn't question it. He stated facts. She never stated she was black until she started running for office she said she was Indian American. She comes from elite privilege PH.D professor parents. Her family owned slaves and her great great grandfather sued England to keep slavery in Jamaica legal and he owned over 100 slaves.

They were so hostile and rude to President Trump. But he did great anyway.

Well, she always identified herself as indian and was promoted as such. Now its politically expedient to promote herself as black. She's mixed race, this is probably why the question of identification becomes relevant.

Excuse me, but Biden himself clearly stated that he wanted a woman of colour as his VP.. So she waa chosen on the basis of race and gender. Now I think it was on Biden and his need to virtue signal that created this perception of her as a DEI hire more than anything else.... The unique circumstances of how she become the democrat nominee have already been outlined by Seymour Hirsh

Harris’ father, ACCORDING TO HIM, is Irish and Indian and BORN in Jamaica. Jamaican does not equate to Black. Her mother is Indian. Her own father said she has no Black ancestry.

Kamala was the first INDIAN senator. Her father is from Jamaica.
Now she's an African American somehow?

DEI means Didn’t Earn It! And Kamala didn’t! 😡

You are wrong. Her father’s ethnicity is Indian and his nationality is Jamaican. Her father is not Black. It’s like a British person being born in Jamaican and people refer to him as Jamaican. It’s very misleading if not a flat out lie..

I live in San Diego, California. My family has lived here for three generations. I was here when Kamala was district attorney. She was known throughout the community as the Indian district attorney. She was always referencing herself as Indian. It wasn’t until it became convenient for her political career to become a black woman, she never identified as a black woman until the last, maybe eight years prior to that go look there is historical data showing her in San Francisco & Northern California referred herself as an Indian district attorney Indian Indian Indian. She only became black when it became a political tool to advance her career.

Kamala told the black journalist group she had no time for them how nice

[trywallin]

The lesbian White House binder girl, KJP, says that nobody has the right to question what somebody identifies as. So if Kamala calls herself pink we have no right to express our view on this.

[donnamerigan]

Harris will be who every audience wants her to be. She is just acting

[MsSparklesNGlitter]

It reminds us of Sen. Elizabeth Warren who made the claim she was Native American so she could get a high paying job at Harvard.

[goatielocks]

She’s Jamaican whose ancestors owned slaves and Indian. Not African

[Watch-Crazy]

If you look at the news articles when Joe announced Kamala as his running mate, she was being coined as the first Indian female...

[marvingehman]

No. We know she’s Indian and white Jamaican.

[mouser]

So many Americans seem to hate identifying as a American it's so weird.

[TKC-]

“She can identify as whatever she likes” 🤦🏼‍♀️ is this why- now my stepdaughter has to go to school with “furries”? Serious question…. They identify as cats/dogs etc and their parents are protesting about their rights to have litter boxes in the schools……

[AnnBarlow-qvtb]

Her dad is NOT Jamaican, he was born in Jamaica just like Bob Marley‘s dad who was Caucasian. Kamala ‘s dad was born in Jamaica but he was Irish & German. Her mom is Indian. She is not black. Do the DNA.

I'm surprised she's not using Markle bronzer
