Kamala Harris Responds to Trump's Racial Remarks

During her first in-depth interview for the 2020 presidential campaign, Kamala Harris dismissed Donald Trump's comments questioning her racial identity. Harris, of Indian and African descent, labeled Trump's remarks as outdated. Trump has repeatedly made false and disparaging claims about Harris, mirroring his previous attacks on Barack Obama.

During her first in-depth campaign interview, Vice President Kamala Harris deflected Donald Trump's comments questioning her racial identity. In the CNN interview, Harris dismissed the former president's remarks as an 'old, tired playbook.'

Trump, 78, has repeatedly attacked Harris, 59, during the campaign, often making disparaging and false claims. At the National Association of Black Journalists convention, Trump falsely implied Harris had only recently embraced her Black heritage for political gain, questioning, 'Is she Indian or is she Black?'

Harris, who is of Indian and African descent, has faced a barrage of personal attacks from Trump, despite advisories from his allies to focus on policy issues. This pattern of racially charged accusations mirrors Trump's false claims about Barack Obama's birthplace during his presidency.
