Trump: “I Didn’t Know Kamala Was Black Until a Few Years Ago!”

While speaking at the National Association of Black Journalists conference, Trump was asked about Republicans labeling Kamala Harris as a DEI hire.

And, as always, he had the perfect response.

“So I’ve known her a long time – indirectly, not directly very much – and she was always of Indian heritage,” Trump answered, “And she was only promoting Indian heritage. 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?”

The Hill reported:

Former President Trump mocked Vice President Harris’s heritage during a live interview Wednesday at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention, telling the Chicago gathering that “she happened to turn Black.”

ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott pressed Trump on comments from other Republicans that Harris was a “DEI hire,” referring to diversity, equity and inclusion, and was only elevated to the top of the Democratic ticket because of her race and gender.

“I’ve known her a long time indirectly. Not directly very much,” Trump said.

“She was always of Indian heritage. And she was only promoting Indian heritage. 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.

“So I don’t know, is she Indian, or is she Black?” he continued.

“She has always identified as a Black woman,” Scott interjected.

“But you know what, I respect either one. But she obviously doesn’t. Because she was Indian all the way then all of a sudden she made a turn. And she became a Black person. And I think somebody should look into that,” Trump said, criticizing Scott’s “hostile” and “nasty” tone.

These are the moments that make you love President Trump even more than before.

But hey, Kamala is definitely black…as this user pointed out:

C’mon. Kamala is black. Didn’t he hear how she spoke in Atlanta last night at the Megan Thee Stallion concert(aka Harris rally)?

In case you missed Kamala taking a page straight out of the Hillary Clinton playbook, here it is:

An Indian woman who is pretending to be black, pretending that she earned the nomination, and now pretending to have a southern accent. This is so fake it’s disgusting. Kamala Harris was appointed by political elitist and not the voters.
