Donald Trump has questioned Kamala Harris’ race during an appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago that quickly turned hostile.
“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. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Trump said while addressing the group’s annual convention.
What an utter waste of DNA. And that was only the start of all the racist shit he said.
“I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the Black population of this country, I’ve done so much for the Black population of this country,” Trump said.
He's a parody of himself. If there wasn't a real threat behind his existence, I'd happily do nothing but laugh at the ridiculousness of his claims.
He compared the 2021 insurrection to the protests in Minneapolis and other cities in 2020 following the death of George Floyd by Minneapolis police and to more recent protests at the Capitol last week by demonstrators opposed to the war in Gaza. Trump falsely claiming that no one was arrested in those other demonstrations and that only his supporters were targeted.
As Trump made the comparison, a man in the back of the room shouted out: “Sir, have you no shame?”
“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. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Trump said while addressing the group’s annual convention.
There's some other good stuff in there but that's the one that stood out to me as new.
“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. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Trump said
"I didn't know about this thing, so it didn't happen until I knew about it" is a concept my child needs to learn about, not a presidential candidate....
I guess the good thing this indicates is that black people as a population have significant voting power if the Trump campaign tactic is to alienate Harris from black voters
Now we know why they gerrymander so hard, b/c otherwise their ghouls probably won’t even come close to being elected
Wow who could have seen this one coming? Trump used this platform they gave him to spread racist evil shit. What a PR disaster for them and a PR Boone for Trump.
This whole event was a shit show. Tech problems, no one could hear each other. And of course none of the journalists landed any gotcha moments because it's Trump and he has zero shame.
The hilarious part of all this would be to see America actually elect this idiot. Say what you want about him but he's running to lead the most powerful country in the world.
The fact that he is even a contender says more about America than anything.
I stopped laughing at Trump a long time ago .... I now point my finger at the American population.
I have hope for the US because of Harris but if Trump wins it, the world will never look at the US with any bit of respect (if there ever was any left) ever again.

Honestly, not even as terrible as I thought he'd be. How he managed to not get hot-miked saying the n-word all day is beyond me. And I'll definitely take Disaster Don saying Harris isn't Black over Retirin' Biden saying voters aren't Black!
