During a panel discussion at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) conference, former President Donald Trump made controversial statements questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’s Black heritage, suggesting she only recently “turned Black.”
“She was always of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black,” said Trump.
Trump also challenged the definition of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), asking for explanations and expressing skepticism about the concept.
When questioned about the January 6th insurrection, Trump downplayed the violence against officers, indirectly justifying the actions of the rioters and suggesting he might pardon them.
