Donald Trump Questions Kamala Harris’ Racial Identity Again

Donald Trump is still questioning Kamala Harris’ racial identity. At the ABC News presidential debate, ABC’s David Muir asked Trump to explain why he questioned Harris’ mixed-race identity in July.

“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black,” he said then about Harris at the National Association of Black Journalists’ annual convention. “So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?”

“Why do you think it’s appropriate to weigh in on the racial identity of your opponent?” Muir asked the former president on Wednesday.

“I don’t and I don’t care. I don’t care what she is. I don’t care,” Trump answered. “You make a big deal out of something...I couldn’t care less. Whatever she wants to be is OK with me.”
