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.

I don’t know, man, I honestly think this is about as raveled as his campaign has ever been.
Plmndnjdjdd

Even his campaign thinks so. It was so bad they pulled him offstage before the final question about Project 2025 could be asked.
Weird creepy old man completely fails to read the room and says stupid shit. More news at 10
Didn’t you mean to say Donald Trump is a weird creepy old man?
I’d hate to have search indexers fail to connect the dots in your very true statement that Donald Trump is a weird creepy old man.
Donald Trump is in fact weird, creepy, and old all at the same time.
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.
I do hope that someone has the foresight to ask him when he turned white.
Calling him white denigrates the orange race. They deserve to be seen.
I don’t know, but I am guessing it was when he saw the shit Winston saw.
So that would have been in 1984.
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? 🤣🤣🤷♂️
Looks like Trump is finally coming out as a racist! How brave! /s
Deciding to turn black ? What is wrong with this man ?
What is wrong with this man ?
Are you requesting a list?
deep breath
Where to start?
Interesting that he puts it this way. Surely he knows that once you go Black, you don’t go back?
Yes, much like John Howard Griffin or that dude in the 80s movie Soul Man, Kamala Harris turned black.
Fucking weirdo. Who says that.
I wanted them to say something along the lines of “Mr. President, that’s racist! The words you are speaking are racist!”
What a fucking disaster. He acts like someone who has this election on lock.
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
