Donald Trump mocks Kamala Harris’ heritage during NABJ interview: ‘She happened to turn Black’

Former President Trump mocked Vice President Harris’s heritage during a combative live interview Wednesday at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention, telling the Chicago gathering that “she happened to turn Black” in recent years.

ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott pressed Trump on comments from other Republicans that Harris was a “DEI hire,” referring to diversity, equity and inclusion, and was only elevated to the top of the Democratic ticket because of her race and gender.

Why did she run for California senator as the first Indian Asian senator? Why didn’t she run for a black woman senator

[onthepath]

He said he would respect either one…he merely pointed out her race changed with the need for pandering.

[streetz]

She’s not black in I’m a black man saying that stop forcing non black people on black people

[sparklingice]

Trump questioned her pandering to whoever her audience is, not her heritage. She's a phoney.

[Danny-Boy]

Imagine not wanting racism but your whole campaign is about race and gender

[johnreilly]

He didn't "mock" her, she's not black!

[Jay-wmqr]

I don't think this interview turned out how they expected. Also, Kamala isn't black.

[glennhankins]

She's 50% Indian 25% white 25% In other words, she's 75% NOT black.

[BMT-byve]

Trump is right. Kamala is appropriating black culture when she grew up in Indian culture and Jamaican culture from her parents.

[tedbell]

They also told Trump that harris would be there and lied to Trump please do a story on that soon

[sathyavathanajesudasson]

That is true. KAMALA IS SOUTH INDIAN AND JAMAICAN - IRISH.
She ix not black

[ericshun]

Her not even showing up to the event should be the most notable thing.

[jl]

We are tired of her racial identity by the dems party

Its driving US apart

[HowlingWof]

It’s not mocking, he simply stating the facts

[MJMcKenzie]

Mocks or questions? She only recently started saying she was black. Before then everyone accepted she was of Indian descent. It’s not a bad thing to question that.

[matwx]

Trump is playing the non-pandering game while Kamala does the opposite. I hope Trump wins.

[rts]

They got stung with their own stinger and now crying foul.

[URnickel_MYcents]

Liberal propaganda lies
It is true that just a couple of years ago, kamel was touting the fact that she was of Indian, Asian, descent on her mother's side !!! Her father is Jamaican, whose ancestors, by the way, owned 1, 200 slaves.
Stop lying It doesn't look good on you

[buggsbunnyboy]

How did he mock it. He stated a fact lol

[leehuff]

How can you identify as something when you’re not? Just like the trans. You may think of yourself as something, but that does not make it true.
