While speaking to reporters during a campaign stop in Michigan, the Republican vice presidential nominee was asked to weigh in onat the National Association of Black Journalists convention last month, the former president falsely accused Harris — who is both Black and of South Asian heritage — of not identifying as Black until a few years ago.“I am the father of biracial children... and look, I was not bothered at all by what President Trump said.
The Republican senator then pivoted the conversation to Harris’ positions on policy issues, calling her “a fake.”“She fakes who she is depending on the audience that she’s in front of, and that’s who she is and that’s who she’s always been,” Vance responded. Former President Donald Trump answers a question from ABC congressional correspondent Rachel Scott on July 31 at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago. His remarks about Kamala Harris' identity drew jeers from the audience.Others questioned why Trump and Vance think discussing Harris’ biracial identity would help their campaign.
