Donald Trump spent Thursday morning doubling down on the ridiculous assertion that Vice President Kamala Harris deceived Americans about her race.
If Donald Trump doesn’t want to be called “weird,” he has a funny way of showing it.
A day after getting hammered for (ridiculously) suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris misled the public about her race for political purposes, the former president doubled down on his apparent ignorance of the existence of biracial people.
“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black,” Trump said at the annual convention of the National Association of Black Journalists. “So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?”
“Happened to turn Black”? What in the world was he talking about?
Seeing how Harris has an Indian mother and a Jamaican American father, this isn’t an either/or type of situation.
She is both, and it is therefore correct to refer to her as both the first Indian American US senator and the first Black woman on the presidential ticket of a major party.
Arguing against this simple fact is bizarre… and why would anybody want to?
Of course, assigning motive to the things coming out of Trump’s mouth can be a bit of a challenge.
In any case, neither Trump nor some of his MAGA allies, such as Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), seem to realize that biracial people exist in the real world and, at no point, do they have to choose just one race they want to be.
Harris simply is the offspring of a mixed-race couple and, therefore, likely experienced the cultural heritage of both.
