Vice-president brushes off remarks by Donald Trump in which he said Harris ‘happened to turn Black’ a number of years ago
Kamala Harris has shrugged off Donald Trump’s questioning of her racial identity, saying that it was “the same old show” and that “America deserves better”, at a rally in Texas.
On Wednesday, in an appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), Trump antagonised senior Black journalists and questioned Harris’s race, saying, “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.”
His interview, which was meant to last an hour, according to Axios, was cut short after 34 minutes.
“He did crap the bed today. The only question is if he’s going to roll around in it or change the sheets.”
— GOP operative Scott Jennings, on CNN about Donald Trump’s questioning of whether Kamala Harris is Black
He NEVER changes the sheets, just declares that they’re the greatest sheets ever, everyone is saying it, and continues to be cheered by his cult as he keeps shitting and rolling around in it.
i don’t understand. what does he think he gains if he were to actually convince people that she’s only “pretending to be black”? it sounds like the only reason he even went to that event was to get more votes from racists who were already going to vote for him…whatever. fucking moron
He doesn’t have that thing in his head we all have to tell him what he is about to say is fucking stupid. It’s a direct path from brain to mouth.
His people arranged it and told him to go, otherwise he would have never been there. Someone in his camp decided it was a good idea.
“mr dear leader majesty sir, we really need to bring up the black vote numbers”
“easy, i’ll just tell them harris won’t do anything for them because she’s not actually black!”
“um…there are multiple problems with that argument sir…”
“shut up and get me a happy meal”
He’s not going to win on ideas, policy or record against her but if the narrative becomes “she lied about her race” those issues aren’t in the narrative.
He’s an awful human being but he’s media savvy.
if the narrative becomes “she lied about her race”
true. keep everyone on the defensive and make them waste time debunking bullshit
but he’s media savvy.
gotta disagree. he’s an awful human being and his cult followers are just dumb enough to lap up all his bullshit like hogs at the trough
Thats the thing - he knows how to shovel the BS.
He has the rubes thinking that a guy who literally shits on a gold toilet understands and gives a shit about them. They think he’s tough when he’s an epic whiner…he knows how to con people and the media just parrots his shit because ratings matter more than truth and he knows it.
I think it might matter to black voters? I’m only trying to seriously answer your question.
Bingo, he’s trying to discourage them from voting. He’s using one of his common strategies of looking for a reason an opponent is popular and saying whatever that reason is is untrue. Apparently it being something immutable like ethnicity is no object to a dumbass like him.
Trump said of Harris, “Don’t forget. Four weeks ago she was considered, like, the worst,” and that she had had a “personality makeover … All of a sudden she’s considered the new Margaret Thatcher”.
Literally no one is comparing Kamala Harris to Margaret Thatcher… except Trump I guess. 🤣 I bet there are a significant number of voting Millenials who don’t even know who Margaret Thatcher is. The ol’ weirdo’s references are weak and long past their best-before date, just like him.
All Millennials need to know is that Margaret Thatcher is the Reagan of the UK to know what they think of her.
Or that Ding Dong the Witch is Dead reached Number 2 in the charts just after she died.
His interview, which was meant to last an hour, according to Axios, was cut short after 34 minutes.
“So, Project 2025…”
“This interview is over!”
Do you remember when Biden received a lot of flack for saying “you ain’t black” if you vote for Trump. It was just another symptom of the problem of having leaders so ancient that they often come off as tone deaf.
In Biden’s defense, though, he seemed to recognize he misstepped and proceeded with more sensitivity.
He didn’t just seem to recognize it, he said so explicitly.
Definitely won’t see that from Trump.
