The former president suggested Harris “turned black” for political gain and questioned if she is a diversity hire, in a talk where he hoped to woo black voters.
: Donald Trump has suggested Vice President Kamala Harris has “turned black” for political gain and questioned if she is a diversity hire, as he appeared at a conference hoping to woo black voters ahead of November’s election.
But things got off the rails quickly, when one of three female journalists on the panel - Rachel Scott of America’s ABC network - asked Trump: “You have pushed false claims about people like President Barack Obama, saying he was not born in the United States, which is not true. You have told four congresswomen - women of colour who were American citizens - to go back to where they came from. You have used words like ‘animal’ to describe black district attorneys.
But the questions - from Scott, Fox News presenter Harris Faulkner and Semafor politics reporter Kadia Goba - were not as friendly as the interviews the former president has become accustomed to, and nor was the crowd.
