Donald Trump falsely suggests Kamala Harris misled voters about her race

CHICAGO (AP) — Donald Trump falsely suggested Kamala Harris had misled voters about her race as the former president appeared before the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago Wednesday in an interview that quickly turned hostile.

The Republican former president wrongly claimed that Harris, the first Black woman and Asian American to serve as vice president, had in the past only promoted her 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 said while addressing the group’s annual convention.

Harris is the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, both immigrants to the U.S.

Trump has leveled a wide range of criticism at Harris since she replaced President Joe Biden atop the likely Democratic ticket last week. Throughout his political career, the former president has repeatedly questioned the backgrounds of opponents who are racial minorities.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked during her briefing with reporters on Wednesday about Trump’s remarks and responded with disbelief, initially murmuring, “Wow.”

Jean-Pierre, who is Black, called what Trump said “repulsive” and said, “It’s insulting and no one has any right to tell someone who they are how they identify.”

Is this the same AP that carried and then deleted the story that JD Vance screwed a couch?

Maybe Horizontal should clear this up. When was her last presser?

Is this going to be one of those “I identify is black, so I’m black” things?

Rachel Dolezal can come out of the shadows and get her apology.

Funny how Trump’s supposedly false statements keep turning out to be true. I’ll choose the Trumpster over our lying low IQ journalism majors any time, any place. Shove it, AP. Go back to something you can do...like studies majors.

Kamala speaks about her race—in her own words:

Kamala Harris had misled voters about her race

The media helped a great deal. They were "all-in" on the exciting concept of "first Indian senator". But now it's cooler to be black, so now she's black.

AP is used by taxpayer funded NPR/PBS as one of their main news sources.

DJT understands a lot of black people detest Harris and the way the press tries and peddle that she’s black.

Don’t need to suggest it - she did mislead - Several videos are on twitter or X with her saying she is Indian.

"...no one has any right to tell someone who they are how they identify.”
