‘Agree To Disagree’: ABC Host Debates Harris’ Racial Identity With Swing-State Voter
Daily Caller ^ | August 18, 2024 | Hailey Gomez - General Assignment Reporter

Posted on 08/19/2024 5:39:06 AM PDT by Red Badger

Wisconsin voter Melody Davy debated Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity with ABC host Martha Raddatz on Sunday, after Davy questioned whether or not Harris is black.

During a segment on ABC’s “This Week,” Raddatz interviewed voters in key swing states about their upcoming election choices. While discussing black voters’ recent shift toward the right, Davy revealed she’s “leaning” toward voting for former President Donald Trump and questioned if Harris had lied about “her heritage.”

“And why is that?” Raddatz asked after Davy said she was leaning toward voting for Trump.

“A lot of the stuff Kamala says is kind of, like, what Trump has said, like, no taxes on tips. It was something that was kind of reiterated by Trump beforehand. She’s just kind of been caught up in a lot of lies,” Davy said.

As Raddatz pressed the Wisconsin voter on what lies she believes Harris has told voters, Davy responded by stating, “I think lying about her heritage was one of them.”

“You think she lied about her heritage?” Raddatz questioned.

“Yeah. I believe she’s just Indian. I don’t think she’s black,” Davy said.

Raddatz pushed back on Davy by telling her that Harris has “always identified as black,” before noting that she’s also half Indian.

“Well I think that’s something we can definitely agree to disagree on,” Davy said.

Last week, Trump ripped Harris in a Truth Social post for a lack of “imagination” after she promoted not taxing tips, which is a campaign promise he had already made to service workers in early June.

Additionally, Trump addressed Harris’ race during a panel interview at the National Association of Black Journalists in late July, stating he only recently became aware of her black heritage because she emphasized her Indian background throughout her career.

“So, I have known her a long time indirectly, not directly very much. She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t 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. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she black?” Trump questioned.

These Media Gaslighters are just Democrat Party operatives.

ABC news is just a propaganda operation and a disinfo operation. Even the local affiliates are nothing but propaganda outlets.

Much like native Americans, blacks are particular about people who claim to be black. They jealously defend the DEI benefits that accrue to blacks. Trump planted a seed of doubt about Kamala in the black community. Genius.

Take that all you know-it-alls who think Trump should stick to the issues.

It would be unfair to call this woman a low information voter.

She has been paying attention.

Somehow Trump’s messaging is getting through no matter how hard Elite Stream Media tries to block him out.

Maybe Black America learned its lesson with Barry who was not black but Indonesian just like his full sister who he claimed she was his half sister.

I remember all the hoopla when Obama was elected. He was supposed to the the Black Messiah, Savior of the race.

He wasn’t.

They won’t get fooled again................

If I saw Martha Raddatz on the street I would not talk to her. Pretty sure I could make it viral and I don’t want to be viral.

This convention, this “candidate”, all 100% about race. One race, that is.
This week should show the world exactly what it’s all about.

Heard ABC cooked her poll numbers going into the convention! These people are corrupt evil and must be completely demolished if America is to survive. We need to make conservative social media a powerful weapon to be reckoned with! The DNCmediapukes need to be completely fossilized!

Same here and just about everywhere else. The locals simply repeat the lies being fed to them from the regime's national press.

Glad to see Democrats debating this with voters.

But the issue won’t get Trump elected. He needs to focus on the HUGE number of issues where non-core voters are with him on the issues but may dislike him personally.

If you are a local reporter and want to move up, you need to prove your loyalty to the party.

"Just have Kamala say the n-word and let everyone decide."

Or as one meme noted: Put Kamala in a 7-Eleven and see if she starts working or robs the store.

It should be highlighted to all Indian’s....Kamala does not identify with you. While I’m sure the Indian vote is lower than blacks, it’s going to depend on location. Here in SE Michigan, the auto industry, there’s LOADS of Indian’s in the suburbs.
