The event was combative from the start as Trump and three moderators from the National Association of Black Journalists sparred throughout.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ race took center stage in a combative back-and-forth exchange with former President Donald Trump during a panel discussion Wednesday at a gathering of Black journalists in Chicago.

“I did not know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now wants to be known as Black,” Trump said.

“I respect either one," he added, "but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went she became Black. … Somebody should look into that too.”

It was in response to a question about the appropriateness of some Republicans saying Harris is a “DEI hire,” a term referring to workplace policies promoting “diversity, equity and inclusion.” It has increasingly been used by some on the right to discredit people of colorwith opposing political views.

    i wouldnt say falling apart… i would say ‘stumbling’. i do think the stumble is worse now than hes ever experienced.

    • attendance is down at all his rallies.
    • the negative press is increasing for a now convicted felon running against a prosecutor can only get sweeter.
    • he picked a vp that is a revolting couch-fucker compared to the chaste previous incarnation.
    • hes about to have to pay 450 milllion dollars.
    • he is now saying the fascist dictator plans out loud.

    thats just off the top of my head.

    … and then theres the other side… harris is rallying people in volumes we havent seen since obama
