Donald Trump is proving heās racist and stupid with his latest post.
In a Truth Social post Thursday morning, Donald Trump appeared to suggest, again, thatĀ presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris isnāt really Black, ramping up his identity-based attacks to the horror of those in his party who consider racism a losing electoral strategy.
Earlier in the week, many GOP strategists, including in the Trump camp,Ā worriedĀ that attacks on Harrisās race and genderāwhich seemed all but inevitable considering Trumpās history of racism and misogynyāwould pose a serious liability for the campaign. āWe hope he doesnāt act like a crazy racist and sexist person, but we canāt control him,ā a source close to the campaignĀ toldĀ The Washington Post.
These hopes were quickly dashed in the course of Trumpās interview with the National Association of Black Journalists Wednesday afternoon, in which the candidateĀ claimedĀ that, for years, Vice President Kamala Harris āwas Indian all the way, and then suddenly she made a turn and she became a Black person.ā
The racists are trying to appeal to both black and white voters here. They used to say that things like:
āWhat do you get when you mix clean water with dirty water?ā
āDirty waterā
Now theyāre saying that people of mixed heritage arenāt anything. That theyāre the Other.
Harris grew up in Oakland in a Black neighborhood. As usual the racists are cruel but here theyāre spreading an obvious lie designed to erode her standing among black voters
I hope she gets one of those āblack jobsāā¦like President.
Canāt have mixed people, they might break the whole divide and conquer thing that theyāve perfected in the last little while.
