[Clip from CSPAN]
Republican Party nominee for U.S. President Donald Trump, the first former U.S. president ever convicted of multiple felonies, was asked by ABC News journalist Rachel Scott about his fellow Republicans referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as “a DEI hire.” Scott asked Trump if he believes Harris is only on the ticket because she’s a Black woman. He responded that he didn’t know she was Black.
Trump said,
“I have known her a long time, indirectly, not directly very much, and she was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I did not know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as black. Is she Indian or is she Black?”
Audible laughing and gasping from the audience can be heard in the CSPAN video clip.
Trump seems unaware that people can identify as being of more than one race, a characteristic that is known as being “multiracial.”
Many people in Mesa County favor Trump for president.
If Harris is “multi-racial”
why does she call herself black?
Some people aren’t that interested in race…but bravo that Trump showed up in hostile territory where he knows at least one thing he said would get blown out of proportion.
It’s interesting that Anne is highlighting this instead.of the mind blowing way the DNC and white house operatives are shoving Harris down voters’ throats despite the undeniable fact that no one voted for Harris in the primary.
After all, everyone (including Harris) knew Biden’s condition and could have replaced him before the primaries.
Ahhhhh! Democracy!
Weeellllll…. That or he’s a malignant narcissist that believes his sycophants when they tell him he’s doing great with black voters.
Look, you can’t give him props for walking in there expecting he’s f___ up when all he ever does is f_____ up anyways.
Ahhhhh! Money can’t buy class or tact!
No one’s shoving anything down your throat (such lurid, subtext-laden imagery you guys use); you wouldn’t have voted for her, anyway; but it looks like the Democrats sure will.
And sure, make Trump out to be the hero in this; I suppose that’s all you’ve got left. You’re mad because Trump’s whole campaign was going to be “Biden’s OLD!”, and now, he’s spinning wildly.
Keep up the racial bit, though; it’ll help in the election. Just not your side.
Disgusting comment and the racist Republicans can’t call out their cult leader.
Every delegate to the DEM conventions all across America voted for Biden/Harris. Harris was always on the ticket and was always the back-up plan. Maybe you should try to fix your own party before criticizing how DEMS do things. Hint: Your candidate is an adjudicated rapist and convicted con-man with obvious cognitive decline.
Watching this whole disastrous and devoutly embarrassing episode for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CazH0U4IXEQ
Trump literally also threw a tantrum beforehand, delaying this disastrous appearance by over an hour over the concern he would be fact-checked in real time by the moderations. Though I’m sure this him an opportunity to bare his mostly blatantly racist self to all of America; which his campaign people/caretakers were forced to halt after about 37 minutes of nearly incoherent nonsense (black jobs? lol). Just when it became crystal clear this malignant narcissist couldn’t possible sink any lower, peddle more disinformation or spout those same tired lies he did at the last debate. No need for a cognitive test then, as with rambling answers like he gave; this man flunked the basic “do you know where you are?” question.
Though never mind this clown show, people. Let wait for our resident troll BHH will chime in any minute now to push more whatabouism about the Dems and/or nonsense about how Joe Biden is still somehow worse. Or maybe he’s just tied up in court, you know, at Tina’s trial.
Your BHH crystal ball is spot on XD
