Donald Trump falsely suggested Kamala Harris had misled voters about her race as the former U.S. president appeared before the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago Wednesday in an interview that quickly turned hostile.
Michael Tyler, the communications director for Harris' campaign, said in a statement that "the hostility Donald Trump showed on stage today is the same hostility he has shown throughout his life, throughout his term in office, and throughout his campaign for president as he seeks to regain power." Trump has repeatedly attacked his opponents and critics on the basis of race. He rose to prominence in Republican politics by propagating false theories that former president Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president, was not born in the United States. "Birtherism," as it became known, was just the start of Trump's history of questioning the credentials and qualifications of Black politicians.
"I think it's disgraceful," Trump said. "I came here in good spirit. I love the Black population of this country. I've done so much for the Black population of this country."Trump continued his attacks on Scott's network, ABC News, which he has been arguing should not host the next presidential debate, despite his earlier agreement with the Biden campaign.
His campaign has emphasized his messages on the economy and immigration as part of his appeal, but some of his outreach has played on racial stereotypes, including the suggestion that African Americans would empathize with the criminal charges he has faced and his promotion of branded sneakers. Before he took the stage, Trump's team displayed what appeared to be years-old news headlines describing Harris as the “first Indian-American senator" on the big screen in the arena.Price reported from New York.
