Trump accuses Harris of deciding to 'turn Black' during a combative panel with Black journalists
The event was combative from the start as Trump and three moderators from the National Association of Black Journalists sparred throughout.
The event was combative from the start as Trump and three moderators from the National Association of Black Journalists sparred throughout.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ race took center stage in a combative back-and-forth exchange with former President Donald Trump during a panel discussion Wednesday at a gathering of Black journalists in Chicago.
“I did not know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now wants to be known as Black,” Trump said.
“I respect either one," he added, "but she obviously doesn't, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went she became Black. ... Somebody should look into that too.”
It was in response to a question about the appropriateness of some Republicans saying Harris is a “DEI hire,” a term referring to workplace policies promoting "diversity, equity and inclusion." It has increasingly been used by some on the right to discredit people of colorwith opposing political views.
Dare I say that it’s starting to feel like Trumps campaign is unraveling. A bit.
I don’t know, man, I honestly think this is about as raveled as his campaign has ever been.
9 days later and it’s NOT going well for Trump. “Unraveled” seems to fit what we are all seeing.
Even his campaign thinks so. It was so bad they pulled him offstage before the final question about Project 2025 could be asked.
Remember 2016. Everybody thought he would lose, said his campaign was a train wreck... He's saying the same shit that got him elected last time.
So I wouldn't say it's unraveling. This is the kind of campaign that can make him win.
9 days later and he’s a mess. This is not the same as 2016. Nothing about this election is like 2016. Did we forget he already lost last time in 2020?
He won't have Comey in the eleventh hour handng him a huge gift in reopening the investigation that never had anything to go on for years because they found another laptop with all the same data on it as before but ' it might be illegal until we double verify it's all the exact same data as our analysts have already said it is '
Weird creepy old man completely fails to read the room and says stupid shit. More news at 10
Whoa, cut him some slack. Reading does not come easily to him.
mods, can we tag this as [WEIRD] for those of us at work?
Old white conservative confused by person being multi-racial, and GOP egotists can't stand being called "weird", this and more news at 11.
Kamala Harris was “Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went, she became a Black person.”
-- Donald Trump
I can't believe I actually have to refute this shit.
-- PolitiFact employee, probably
...did he somehow confuse Kamala Harris with Elizabeth Warren?
I do hope that someone has the foresight to ask him when he turned white.
Someone should look into that? What is it with this guy making weird requests against his opponents. He is so used to giving direction this way like a gangster. Removes any personal responcibility from his statements.
It's a gish gallop with a flourish.
So this event went exactly as well as anyone with any common sense at all would assume it would go? 🤣🤣🤷♂️
Deciding to turn black ? What is wrong with this man ?
He's really weird.
have you seen his tiny little hands?
What is wrong with this man ?
Are you requesting a list?
We don't have time for that. Let me sum up.
deep breath
Where to start?
Looks like Trump is finally coming out as a racist! How brave! /s
Interesting that he puts it this way. Surely he knows that once you go Black, you don't go back?
Fucking weirdo. Who says that.
Narcissists. This is a textbook smear campaign.
The smear campaign is born out of a combination of factors, including the need to be right and have his or her “truth” become the prevailing script, retaining status and standing (making sure that his or her inner hidden shame doesn’t become public), and maintaining control of his or her image. The woman or man high in narcissistic traits curates her or his public persona very carefully; appearing successful, accomplished, and together is all-important.

Yes, much like John Howard Griffin or that dude in the 80s movie Soul Man, Kamala Harris turned black.
I think we as a society have collectively repressed the memory of that movie
I wanted them to say something along the lines of "Mr. President, that's racist! The words you are speaking are racist!"
Once you turn black...
What a fucking disaster. He acts like someone who has this election on lock.
He acts like someone who has this election on lock.
Funny that he doesn't remember how that worked out for Clinton.
If the race of a political candidate is actually a thing, it must be conservative America.
As much shit as he spews he should be well familiar with 'combative'
That's the thing with insecure bullies, right? It's all well and good until someone treats them like they treat others, and then they lose their fragile little minds.
Yep
IOW, this went just about as well as was predicted.
Seems like he kinda misunderstood AC/DC's back in black 🤷
