Washington D.C; Trump Sparks Outrage with Racist Remarks About Kamala Harris’ Identity,Former President Donald Trump sparked outrage with racist remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris’ identity at a convention for Black journalists. Trump questioned whether Harris is Indian or Black, drawing widespread condemnation from politicians, journalists, and civil rights activists.
Trump’s comments were made during a speech at the National Association of Black Journalists’ convention, where he was invited to speak despite his history of making racist remarks. His comments about Harris’ identity were met with gasps and boos from the audience.
Harris, who is of Indian and Jamaican descent, has faced racist attacks and misinformation about her identity throughout her political career. Trump’s comments were widely seen as an attempt to delegitimize her identity and undermine her political standing.
The National Association of Black Journalists released a statement condemning Trump’s remarks, saying they were “racist and divisive.” The organization’s president, Dorothy Tucker, said Trump’s comments “perpetuate harmful stereotypes and biases that have no place in our society.”
Politicians from both parties also condemned Trump’s remarks, with many calling them “racist” and “unacceptable.” The White House released a statement saying Trump’s comments were “a clear example of racism and xenophobia.”
