Washington: The political temperature is constantly rising in America regarding the presidential election. The leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties are fiercely targeting each other. The series of allegations and counter-allegations has also reached its peak. Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump, who is in the news for his statements, has once again given a controversial statement. Republican Party’s presidential candidate Donald Trump launched a major attack on Kamala Harris at the annual conference of the National Association of Black Journalists.
What did Trump say?
Donald Trump has questioned Kamala Harris’s racial identity and said that she is deliberately trying to capitalize on her black identity. He said that she (Kamala Harris) always described herself as belonging to India. She used to promote Indian heritage, but now she has suddenly become black, since when did she become black? Now she wants to be recognized as black
‘Is she Indian or black’
Trump said that I do not know whether she is Indian or black? I respect both Indians and blacks but I do not think Harris has a sense of respect for them? Because she was always an Indian and used to call herself connected to India but now she has suddenly become black.
‘This is insulting’
This statement of Donald Trump is facing severe criticism. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reacted to Trump’s statement and said that ‘what he just said is disgusting, it is insulting.’
