Donald Trump is under fire once again after questioning Kamala Harris‘ “Blackness” at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention.
The former president was invited to answer questions about his proposed policies, but instead seized the moment to question Harris’ race – despite her open celebration of her Black (Jamaican) and Indian heritage.
Now, in the wake of his remarks, the Vice President’s team have issued a statement.
Full story below…
Speaking on Harris’ race, Trump shocked attendees when he quipped:
“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black.”

In a statement released moments ago, Harris’ campaign ripped into Trump. A rep said:
“The hostility Donald Trump showed on stage today is the same hostility he has shown throughout his life, throughout his term in office and throughout his campaign for president as he seeks to regain power and inflict his harmful Project 2025 agenda on the American people. Trump lobbed personal attacks and insults at Black journalists the same way he did throughout his presidency – while he failed Black families and left the entire country digging out of the ditch he left us in. Donald Trump has already proven he cannot unite America, so he attempts to divide us. Today’s tirade is simply a taste of the chaos and division that has been a hallmark of Trump’s MAGA rallies this entire campaign. It’s also exactly what the American people will see from across the debate stage as Vice President Harris offers a vision of opportunity and freedom for all Americans. All Donald Trump needs to do is stop playing games and actually show up to the debate on Sept. 10.”
With that, what are…
Trump is just an ashy clown. 🤡

Vote and stop entertaining the Deflector Trump.
He will end abortion rights, student aid, and blacks soon as he gets one last opportunity
That man will loose his mind like Biden but the inner Hitler will magnify.
He will attempt to make it so you won’t vote again- as he said and it becomes a dictatorship run by his old azzzz self
Trump will force you to become Christian, but will make sure you worship him first. He is a dictator.
the b**** isn’t black she’s indian and white
Is this old orange white?
He questioned Obama’s Amercanness and still got voted president. He made it fun to grab women by the P and still got voted president. So this? Someone, please, place Kathy Griffin on s****** watch! And Katy Perry had better not revert to that blonde pixie cut.
that b**** kamala still didnt answer the question…in her staement VOTE TRUMP
