Donald Trump has questioned Kamala Harris' racial identity during a heated interview at a Black journalists’ convention.

The Republican presidential nominee said he had known her "indirectly" for a while and thought she was Indian, saying, “I don’t know, is she Indian or Black?”

Trump’s remarks about the vice president have been condemned by the White House as “repulsive” and “insulting”.

    Kamala Harris was on a cooking show and 100% said she was south Indian
  • Kamala was and is 1/2 Indian, 1/4 white, 1/4 black. Bit she is definitely not African American, her heritage is from Jamaica. Her white roots are from Ireland, Scotland, England.
  • Well ir's not the colour of the skin but thecontent of character. Isn't she just American??
  • @bigmal1690
    I thought it was odd too, always thought she was Indian, but how was I to know, that she could be the 1st Indian American woman vice president to become the 1st Africa American woman president.
  • Who does it matter? Why is this question never raised with white presidents? Is he 3 quarters Irish?? Who actually cares? Why aren't we talking about her resume and policy proposals.
  • @kennwan9917
    "kamala harris is vice president and as such is entitled to respect" erm... that's not how it works. This isn't journalism. This is ridiculous reporting.
  • @ShinkuRosetta
    Anyone pretending they're a certain race should be called out
  • Well he didn't say that very well, but what the "journalist" shouted out claiming that she "has always identified as black" is factually incorrect. In fact as recently as 2019 she is on video glowingly talking about her indian upbringing.
  • @idw9159
    asking whether harris is indian or black is like debating whether trump is sexist or racist
  • @yihuda7459
    AP journalists called her the first Indian senator back then ..now they want Blk votes ..they called her Blk
  • @mkkiani-tech
    Mr Trump said when he knew her earlier she claimed to be of indian descent, much later she claimed to be of African descent. He is right to point out that she may be doing this for political gain i.e. the black vote as the indian voters are fewer. Good call by Mr Trump. He wasn't questioning her racial background but her motives.

    I like when he asked the first lady what the definition of DEI was and she couldn't answer . wow!
  • @ruth8967
    Trump bragged about finishing a puzzle in only two months. When asked why that was a big deal he said on the box it says 3 to 5 years.
