Exhausted is putting it mildly....great response

[tenerifecats]

I am so proud that Kamala didn't allow CNN pull her down that 'race change' rabbit hole! It shows her discipline! I see a lovely woman who has worked hard to get where she is; and she's done it with a lot of determination and grit; and always considering the people she is fighting for! ***Independent Conservative - 'ex republican as of 2015' voting for Harris-Walz!

He's German, oh and then he turned Scottish. Both immigrants.

I'm biracial (black and white) and it is extremely irritating when people act like I have to choose a side, or if I behave a certain way I'm " acting black" or "acting white"

I agree with Kamala's approach, we shouldn't even acknowledge ignorance like that.

As a mother of two bi-racial children, I can't believe that we're even having a discussion about this in 2024. 🙄
This is absolutely nuts!

[akwaabab]

What's that Toni Morrison quote about it being a distraction? She is brilliant, capable and competent,

[rameshnayak]

It was shocking to hear journalists still asking questions about her nationality

[tigerlilly]

They are sick and sad. There is no "GOTCHA" moment to catch her out. We have always SEEN her parents FOR YEARS. GOP PLEASE HUSH 😂😂and

[mannyj]

The only" Race " she's changed is from running for VP re-election to running a race for President😊

[anwendutson]

The nasty old tyrant has finally lost his marbles!!

[chazk]

I love how she won't rise to the bait. "Same old nonsense" is the best reaction.

[gzus]

Im glad she didn't take any time to address such foolishness. 🤦

[jackfoley]

Same old tired playbook. Next question please. Perfect Kamala. No need to dignify that disgusting bs

[Supermac-pjyh]

How many times has trump claimed he's either German or Scottish?

[pyrexmaniac]

Why would ANY REPORTER even ASK such an outrageous question!!!???

[bexyrexy]

FDT. This topic doesn’t warrant any additional media attention

[Whatsamacallit]

LOL, Kamala doesn't play Trump games. Poor old man is 😂😂

[judd]

DANA BASH is despicable for asking this racist question.

[mareanthomas]

Donald Trump has four children that mothers are from other countries

[saigejones]

Vote and stop listening to all these detractions. Get family and friends and stop listening to all this silliness.😭
