Soooo, the media is going to beat this question to death for the next three months?

[topologyrob]

Dude does a complete 180 on Trump then has the gall to pretend that's Kamala's game?

[williamyearian]

Kamala cannot be trusted but Trump ( or Vance) can? Sorry. That isn't even a serious comment.

[freddykagin]

Thank you, JD . You are right on about what you are saying.

[eddiemerribaker]

Please everyone, pray the former president doesn’t debate Kamala—she will eat him alive. 😬 And no debates with Walz, either! 🤞

[Villianova]

You know the reporter wishes he didn't ask that question

[easter_sunday]

They'll question everyone and anyone ABOUT Kamala. But they won't ask Kalama any direct questions.

Tell them JD

There is nothing wrong with being one thing, racially, when you are with one group, and being another, when with another ethnic group. My son is half-Japanese and half-South African. In Japan, he speaks Japanese, eats Japanese food, gangs out with Japanese friends, works in a Japanese company and identifies (as his passport states), that he is Japanese. In South Africa, he is call him by his South African name, he eats South African food, hangs out with South African cousins and friends, cheers the Springbok Rugby team and uses South African lingua franca.
That, Mr. Vance, is NOT being a chameleon. That is what we call biracial! He, like Kamada Harris, and like any other biracial person out there, has a right to switch between the two races he is made up of! It is a BIRTH RIGHT! Teach that to your children!

Jamaicans don't call themselves black either. Just saying.

[debbiehernandez]

Trump never attacked her race, he questioned it, she used to say she was indian. Now she says she is black.

[americastpatriot]

We should all be questioning every part of her history. That’s our duty as voters especially when the candidate is a liar & flip flopper like she is.

[unuxuxh]

Another unforced error from Trump. the Trump/Vance camp seems to be focused on extreme hyperbole attacks and grievances. It’s very negative. It’s exhausting, and it’s gotten old.

[davecord]

Some people hate you for the way you look or talk.. Others hate you because you refuse to help overthrow Democracy..

[aaronspratt]

Unlike Kamala, JD will take tough questions from reporters.

[allihearismetal]

Glad that question was asked because it needed to be explained to the people that don’t speak Trump.

[williamhtla]

Kamala Harris is a zebra, not a chameleon.

PLEASE SOMEONE So the boarder is worse then ever? Are you saying that the wall Chump built (and we paid for it) didn’t do anything?

[Timewave-Zer]

Real question is: why were the interviewers questioning about Kamala race in the first place?? 💀💀

[lizhorton]

She’s not black and not biracial. Her father is INDIAN-IRISH, born in Jamaica. Her mother is INDIAN. Where is the black? Someone show me where she has black heritage. I’ve never seen it or heard it and I’ve done a LOT of research on this subject.
