Harris responds to Trump’s inaccurate statements on her ethnicity and his track record of promoting racial discord

During the recent presidential debate, Kamala Harris confronted false claims made by Donald Trump regarding her racial identity and highlighted his history of racial divisiveness. Trump falsely asserted at a conference of Black journalists that Harris “turned Black,” despite her Jamaican and Indian heritage. Harris dismissed the need to defend her racial identity and criticized Trump for using race to divide people.

At the debate, Trump claimed he didn’t care about Harris’s identity and repeated falsehoods about her race. Harris labeled Trump’s approach as divisive and lamented his consistent use of race to divide Americans. She emphasized unity over division and critiqued Trump’s history of racial division, including his involvement in the Central Park Five case and the birther conspiracy against President Obama.

During the debate, Harris reminded viewers of Trump’s past racial controversies and criticized his lack of investment in the dreams and aspirations of the American people. Civil rights leader Marc Morial praised Harris’s debate performance, commending her for challenging Trump on his troubling record and rhetoric. Morial noted that Harris effectively brought attention to Trump’s disrespectful treatment of Black Americans.
