Uh, seems like Trump's visit to the NABJ is not going well...

Ridiculous. She is and has always been half Indian and half black Jamaican. She never identified as "only" Indian.

The NABJ invite the leading candidates during the election year every presidential cycle. With that said, the NABJ should have foregone history and lost Trump's invitation this year.

I don’t know, he’s coming off so crazy maybe that’s the point.

Where's the lie? She was the first Indian American to become a Senator. By agreeing to the truth, that does not mean she denied the other half of her heritage. Or are you forgetting that Harris attended an HBCU and pledged, when they were still pledging plebes, a predominantly Black sorority. You know its the little things that count.

Good lord I think he is confusing Kamala Harris with Nikki Haley. The man is senile and confused about who he's even talking about.

Which, of course, is a lie.

I don't think it's working because the interviewer isn't there to clean up his messes for him. Like, most Americans know that people died at the insurrection, since Fox News tried to pin those deaths on Biden. Without a sympathetic interviewer to gently remind/correct/hand him the talking points, he just sounds crazy.

She is half black Jamaican (her father) and half Indian (her mom). She has never not been black.

She is the first Indian-American to become a Senator, and first Indian-American woman to become a Senator.
She is NOT the first black person to become a Senator, that was Hiram Rhodes Revels, 1870.
She is NOT the first black woman to become a Senator, that was Carol Mosely Braun, 1993.

Hope your confusion is now cleared up.

Nah, he is just a liar. Nikki does not have African heritage, at least not that I am aware of.

We need more of her.

Rachael Scott of ABC News, Harris Faulkner of Fox News and Kadia Goba of Semafor are the interviewers.

The audience isn’t having it which I think threw him off a bit.

Wow, that was the most batsh#t insane opening answer I've ever seen given by a politician. Calling it unhinged doesn't do it justice. He's genuinely lost the plot. He's simply not capable of behaving or functioning as President. This interview is going to hurt him.

But remember that they occupy the same space in his mind. He has confused them more than once.

+1 They knew. They are just exposing what most people already know about Trump.

Trump didn't say Nikki Haley had African heritage. He said he thought "she" had always been Indian. That's why I think he's confusing her with Nikki Haley. Trump is constantly confusing Nikki Haley with other people.
