Harris was quick to respond, calling the Republican candidate’s attacks “divisive and disrespectful.”
Former US President and Republican candidate, Donald Trumphas once again sparked controversy. This time, he has suggested that his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, ““it suddenly turned black” to win votes from African Americans.
In a tense interview During the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention in Chicago, Trump said that years ago Vice President Harris “only promoted her Indian heritage.”
“I didn’t know she was black until a few years ago she became black and wants to be known as black. Is it one thing or the other? I respect both, but she obviously doesn’t,” Trump said, questioning the racial identity of the vice president, who is the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, and who promotes both origins in her public life.
“Division and disrespect”
Harris was quick to respond. He called it “division and disrespect” the Republican candidate’s attacks.
At an event for a historically black sorority in Houston, Texas, the vice president said: “The American people deserve better”“When we organize, mountains move. When we organize, nations change. And when we vote, we make history,” he said during his speech.
