Donald Trump’s appearance in front of the National Association of Black Journalists caused a stir among liberals and woke extremists.
Few, except for Trump himself, mentioned that the sit-down discussion began 35 minutes late after technological problems from incompetent ABC News workers.
When it finally began, ABC’s Rachel Scott began the onslaught. One particular remark drew the attention of social media when Trump referenced Vice President Kamala Harris’ ever-changing ethnicity in order to secure the votes of her audience of the day.
“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,” Trump said at the National Association of Black Journalists’ annual convention. “So I don’t know, is she Indian, or is she Black?”
Trump continued;: “I respect either one but she obviously doesn’t because she was Indian all the way and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she became a Black person. And I think somebody should look into that, too.”
Naturally, CNN sought to pounce and asked the former president’s running mate, J.D. Vance, for his views on Trump’s comment that Harris was “all of a sudden Black”.
“As the father of three bi-racial children, do those comments give you pause at all?” quizzed correspondent Steve Contorno.
Vance promptly responded, “They don’t give me pause at all; all he said was that Kamala Harris is a chameleon.”
“She is everything to everybody, and she pretends to be somebody different depending on what audiences she is in front of. I think it’s totally reasonable for the president to call that out, and that’s all he did,” Vance added.
He concluded; He continued; “I think it’s totally reasonable for the president [Trump] to call that out, and that’s all he did. Look, she’s running as a tough on crime prosecutor even though she implemented open border policies. She’s saying that she wants to support the police, yet she wanted to defund the police just three years ago. It’s totally reasonable to call out the fact that she pretends to be somebody different depending on the audience she’s talking to.”
The Sen. for Ohio referenced Harris’ track record of contradictions over the border and the police, much to the praise of many on social media.
For others, Vance’s confidence gave prudence to Trump’s selection of him for running mate.
