Vice-president brushes off remarks by Donald Trump in which he said Harris ‘happened to turn Black’ a number of years ago

Kamala Harris has shrugged off Donald Trump’s questioning of her racial identity, saying that it was “the same old show” and that “America deserves better”, at a rally in Texas.

On Wednesday, in an appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), Trump antagonised senior Black journalists and questioned Harris’s race, saying, “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.”

His interview, which was meant to last an hour, according to Axios, was cut short after 34 minutes.

Trump said of Harris, “Don’t forget. Four weeks ago she was considered, like, the worst,” and that she had had a “personality makeover … All of a sudden she’s considered the new Margaret Thatcher”.

Literally no one is comparing Kamala Harris to Margaret Thatcher... except Trump I guess. 🤣 I bet there are a significant number of voting Millenials who don't even know who Margaret Thatcher is. The ol' weirdo's references are weak and long past their best-before date, just like him.

All Millennials need to know is that Margaret Thatcher is the Reagan of the UK to know what they think of her.

Or that Ding Dong the Witch is Dead reached Number 2 in the charts just after she died.

Anyway, they should know who she was, and how much damage her fucked up economics did.

Fuck old Maggie. Veep Harris is far better than that conservative nitwit. See we want Harris to nationalize more not privatize the air we breathe and the sense of community we feel
