The event was combative from the start as Trump and three moderators from the National Association of Black Journalists sparred throughout.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ race took center stage in a combative back-and-forth exchange with former President Donald Trump during a panel discussion Wednesday at a gathering of Black journalists in Chicago.
“I did not know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now wants to be known as Black,” Trump said.
“I respect either one," he added, "but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went she became Black. … Somebody should look into that too.”
It was in response to a question about the appropriateness of some Republicans saying Harris is a “DEI hire,” a term referring to workplace policies promoting “diversity, equity and inclusion.” It has increasingly been used by some on the right to discredit people of colorwith opposing political views.
Dare I say that it’s starting to feel like Trumps campaign is unraveling. A bit.
I don’t know, man, I honestly think this is about as raveled as his campaign has ever been.
It kinda feels like both. We are seeing his campaign machine at full speed, but for some reason it feels a bit broken. I guess we’ll see where everything is in a month or so.
Its feels like its got a small crack in the engine block. Like its not quite affecting it yet but you can still hear something is wrong with it.
Honestly. I see so many people saying Trump and republicans are falling apart and they’re terrified, but I’m like, this is the exact same rhetoric we’ve been getting from them for 8 years.
9 days later and it’s NOT going well for Trump. “Unraveled” seems to fit what we are all seeing.
Even his campaign thinks so. It was so bad they pulled him offstage before the final question about Project 2025 could be asked.
Remember 2016. Everybody thought he would lose, said his campaign was a train wreck… He’s saying the same shit that got him elected last time.
So I wouldn’t say it’s unraveling. This is the kind of campaign that can make him win.
He won’t have Comey in the eleventh hour handng him a huge gift in reopening the investigation that never had anything to go on for years because they found another laptop with all the same data on it as before but ’ it might be illegal until we double verify it’s all the exact same data as our analysts have already said it is ’
9 days later and he’s a mess. This is not the same as 2016. Nothing about this election is like 2016. Did we forget he already lost last time in 2020?
