During an interview at the National Association of Black Journalists’ annual convention this week, Donald Trump drew audible gasps from the crowd when he questioned the background of Vice President Kamala Harris , the presumptive Democratic nominee for president.
But this attack line against Harris wasn’t a slip of the tongue or a product of an undisciplined politician. Questioning the identity of Black politicians is what made Trump into a Republican darling, and later the party’s standard-bearer.Trump infamously and baselessly claimed that Obama, who was born in Hawaii to a Kenyan father and white American mother, was not an American and therefore ineligible to be president.
“What Trump is attempting to say is, ‘She doesn’t meet your litmus test for being truly Black,’” Collins said.
