MODERATORS
 

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.

Once you turn black...

I wanted them to say something along the lines of "Mr. President, that's racist! The words you are speaking are racist!"

Seems like he kinda misunderstood AC/DC's back in black 🤷

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.

If the race of a political candidate is actually a thing, it must be conservative America.

Kamala Harris was “Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went, she became a Black person.”

...did he somehow confuse Kamala Harris with Elizabeth Warren?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

I can't believe I actually have to refute this shit.
