Trump falsely attacks Kamala Harris over race, saying she "happened to turn Black"
CBS News ^ | July 31, 2024 | Kathryn Watson

Former President Donald Trump launched a racially insensitive attack against presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris on Wednesday, falsely questioning her racial background in a contentious appearance in Chicago.

During a panel discussion at the conference of the National Association of Black Journalists, the Republican nominee for president said his opponent for the White House "happened to turn Black" a number of years ago.

Asked about some Republicans labeling Harris as a "DEI hire," Trump, after bickering with ABC's Rachel Scott over the definition of DEI, responded: "I've known [Harris] a long time indirectly, not directly, very much. And 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?"

During the NABJ panel, Trump also said he wasn’t sure of the “exact case” of Sonya Massey, the unarmed Black woman who was fatally shot by a sheriff’s deputy in her Illinois home. The deputy, Sean Grayson, has been charged with first-degree murder. During rallies, Trump has suggested that police officers should receive “federal immunity.”

“I don’t know the exact case but I saw something, and it didn’t look — it didn’t good to me, it didn’t look good to me,” Trump said, to audible gasps from some in the crowd.


Have to love the pathetic way they try and twist everything

“falsely” = “in a way damaging to our narrative”

Trump needs to stay away from this crap and stick to the issues. Stop the name-calling stop calling her Crazy hit her with the issues. She’s vulnerable on every issue, stop trying to be cute. Just stick to the issues. He’s gonna blow this otherwise

One of the greatest super twin powers the Dems have is the ability to morph into whatever nationality they need to be in order to hoodwink the electorate... like “Beto”...

‘Border-Czar Kamala’ is the only moniker he needs.

They’re going to lose this one, just like they lost the “Trump wasn’t hit with a bullet” one, and the “roof was too steep” one.
