CNN anchor Michael Smerconish called black men who felt Kamala Harris is not really black 'low information voters.'
During his show on Saturday, Smerconish played a clip from CBS affiliate WHP filmed at a central Pennsylvania barber shop late last month asking black men what they thought about the vice president.
In the clip, a local journalist was speaking to black men at a barber shop when some said the didn't think Harris was black.
But Smerconish was quick to correct them, with a disparaging label.
'When I played that audio on my SiriusXM radio program on Thursday, many callers who self-identified as African American were quick to tell me that those men were the exception, not the rule,' Smerconish said.
'Some describe them as low-information voters no different than you'd find among whites.'
Left-wing journalist Glenn Greenwald, who frequently calls out liberal hypocrisy, was among those accusing Smerconish of pompous behavior.
'Among the many hilarious parts of this CNN video is that, after the Black men explain their views on Kamala and race, the White Man of Authority calls them stupid, and says that's not how the majority of black people think, which he knows because his black friends told him so,' Greenwald posted on X.
Smerconish himself is a former Republican who has been an independent voter since 2010. He recently said that Harris has questions to answer about her ultra-liberal track record as she attempts to pivot to the center for her presidential campaign.
The segment played after Donald Trump's decision to question Kamala Harris's racial identity at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago on Wednesday.
Trump said he 'didn't know' Harris was black and thought she was 'Indian all the way.' He also said Harris 'happened to turn black' to appeal...

“ignore their race-bating questions”
If you don’t fight back they will slam dunk you.
Republicans like Romney and McCain already tried that.
It failed—Obama crushed them.
We may not like the issue of Harris running a race scam—but we did not create it either.
If you are not playing offense you are playing defense.
It is critical to remember that you do not get to decide what the “issues” are.
Voters do.
My primary care physician is from India..no way would I classify him as black...He just isn't.

Who does Smerconish think he is? Rush Limbaugh?
Pretendian. Pandering for black votes. She locked up blacks for weed possession while being a stoner herself.
Come on folks... she said “Ya’ll” - that settles it, she’s black. /s
Groupthink as a weapon 101
Here’s the left’s play book. Worth understanding.
Makes everything the left does crystal clear.

I Thou shalt create an illusion of invulnerability shared by most members to foster excessive optimism and encourage extreme risks taking
II Thou shall not allow any member to question the group’s inherent morality, instead members shall be encouraged to ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions
III Thou shalt promote collective efforts to rationalize in order to discount warnings, or other information that might lead members to reconsider their assumptions before they recommit themselves to their assumptions
IV Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose
V Thou shalt self-censor any deviation from the apparent group consensus, inclining each member to minimize the importance of their doubts and counterarguments
VI Thou shalt create and maintain a shared illusion of unanimity concerning judgement conforming to the majority view
VII Thou shalt apply direct pressure on any member who expresses strong arguments against any of the group’s stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, making clear that this type of dissent is contrary to what is expected of all loyal members
VIII Thou shalt appoint mindguards to protect the group from adverse information that might shatter their shared complacency about the effectiveness and morality of their decisions
you’re welcome
I am totally impressed by Vivek. You are right. Trump would be wise to not only sign them on as advisors, but find worthwhile spots for them in his administration.
If Kamala’s parents are naturalized citizens, does that not make her ineligible for the presidency?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Some people in the story are ‘low information voters’ and theyre not the men in the barbershop...
Smerconish is, and always has been, an anal orifice. In the same way that Rosie O’Doughnut is the ‘Queen of Nice’.
Smerconish must be one of Kammie’s White Duds for Harris snowflakes.
mixed race
two parts caucasian
one part black
mother’s race was caucasian on birth certificate
northern indians are caucasian
If memory serves right ( I used to have the manual for classisications), in 1964 for the census ( and birth certificates) both hispanics and Indians were classified as caucasian. Blacks were classified as Negro. It is interesting on her BC , her father is not classified as Negro, but Jamaican.
Thanks to you and Joshua for the info.
LOL!
Kamala Harris = Chameleon
What ever color that can suck in a vote
Trump is the greatest troll whoever lived.
Trump is trolling all the Marxists who want to sell Kamala as “black’.
As Greenwald wisely pointed out it’s the white boy telling black folk who is really black.
Black “leaders” otherwise known as race pimps have become the Uncle Toms.
Even that crowd will be hesitant to go all in on selling Kamala as “black” as they risk being made fun of by the grass roots in the hoods of urban America.
Kamala is a California creature where right is wrong, wrong is right, and white is black.
She will not play well in any demographic other than the Marxist bastion of the elites and Elite Stream Media.
She is quite welcome in the Gays for Hamas crowd, but not in mainstream America whether it is in white mainstream or the black mainstream.
Black folk like their weed.
Kamala forever the opportunist took the lazy way out and as a prosecutor went after low level drug crimes as the low hanging fruit in order to pad her statistics and look like she was competent.
Then she tried pretend to be Kamala from the “hood” saying she smoked dope while listening to Snoop Dog.
My favorite line about O J was in one of the O J movies.
Blacks are having a BBQ during the white Bronco chase.
A media report mentions OJ is black.
One of the guys at the BBQ grill, says, “OJ not black.”
When Trump trolled Kamala on her racial identity, he knew exactly what he was doing.
