At a Black journalists’ event, Trump said he did not know Kamala Harris “was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black.” The audience booed the remarks; The White House called them “repulsive.”Former US President Donald Trump attended a conference with Black journalists in Chicago on Wednesday where he falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris had previously identified only as Indian before “turning Black.”
Trump has been seeking to improve his support among Black voters, however, he appeared combative at the event, calling the interviewers “rude” and “nasty,” especially after they called him out for his falsehoods.
