Ramaswamy recalled that Kamala Harris leaned onto her Indian American identity when she ran for office in California and added that she wears a different identity when it is politically convenient on a national stage.

Speaking to Fox News, Vivek Ramaswamy said, "On a very personal level, my parents were immigrants to this country, legal immigrants from southern India, the very same part of India that her mother also immigrated from, I think it's a hard fact, it's just a fact whether you like it or not, that many Indian-Americans in the United States are indeed somewhat offended by the way Kamala has suddenly cast aside the Indian-American side of her identity."

"She leaned into it when she ran for office in California, big Asian American and Indian American population. So, she wore that when it was convenient. She's wearing a different identity now when it's politically convenience on a national stage," he added

Kamala's mother, Shyamala Gopalan (died 2009) was a biomedical scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, born in Madras in 1938. She was Tamil through and through.

Kamala's father - Donald Jasper Harris is a Jamaican-american economist and professor emeritus at Stanford. He is seemingly around half Caucasian JUST going by his appearance.

Once she starts hittin’ the reservations she’ll be a Fakowie Indian from the old west. Her father was a buffalo hunter. Her mother made buffalo wings for the tribe. Then the Canadian Mounties ran her family off.

Didn’t Elizabeth Warren once claim to be Indian? One of my ancestors fought in the Cherokee Wars (1776-1794). Can you imagine how disappointed I was to find out my ancestors never oppressed hers?

She has changed her positions on the issues like she changed her race. Whatever it takes to try to get votes.

Trump need to ask her flat out during the debate, was she lying before or lying now?

Kamala Harris also colluded with her family’s immigration fraud, including committing perjury on a sworn document.

Kamala calculatedly discarded her Indian heritage, becoming "black" for political gain

FR thread---In 2020, CNN aired an entire segment on Kamala's Indian heritage....
and how that shaped her political beliefs / Rumble / FR Posted on 7/31/2024, by janetjanet998

Kamala's parents-----Mom in Indian garb.

Yes. Talking policy wasn't going to get the "cat lady" thing off the front page.

Here's the deal. Trump is the quarterback. He has a play designed against the opponent's alignment. The play is a handoff to Ramaswamy, who is well equipped to run at the present defensive scheme. Ramaswamy will move the chains to setup a future pass play downfield.

They were attractive people. Of course, most people presented well in those days.

He’s basically saying what Trump said in a more boorish manner yesterday. Let’s see if everybody, including the GOPee, condemns him, too.
