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

That’s it.

She’s Indian-American isn’t she? She looks more Indian than Black to me, too. Look at her hair.

If her trolls are going to keep screaming anti-White screeds while she makes her entire candidacy about her descriptors, she might want to develop a thicker skin. Unless she’s ashamed of her Indian heritage that is.

Just WOW. Speechless.

She was raised by her Brahmin mother, raised Hindu, speaks Hindi — and her father also has Indian ancestry. She wasn’t even raised in the United States from the time she was 12. She can identify however she wants, but she is not a product of the African-American experience, and certainly not ADOS.

She is not even part of the American immigrant experience, in that neither of her Ph.D. parents became U.S. citizens.

As a Brahmin, the dirty little secret is that she is against anti-caste legislation in the United States. Someone should ask her about that, if she ever does give an unscripted interview.

She went to Howard University, an HBCU and she joined AKA, a Pen-Hellenic Service Sorority.

I think she is well within her rights to define her experience and life the way she wants.

If you are going to twist facts you should at least get the actual facts right.

Her mother spoke Tamil around the house. That is not Hindu. Like, really not Hindi. And Kamala can't say much more than "I'm hungry" or "Hello" or other childhood basics.

She went to churches WAY more than any Hindu temples.

And Obama wasn't ADOS. Still got elected. Twice.

Never thought I'd see the day when white Republicans' main argument against a candidate is that she isn't black enough.

This is something that Trump doesn't ever really seem to understand. His base is not enough to get him elected. He think because there are millions who love him that is enough. But as we've seen, even 80M is not enough when 88M dislike him and won't vote for him.

He may have pandered to his base, but he lost ground with the people that matter. When Harris took over as presumptive Democratic nominee, there were about 45% support for each of them, but the undecideds grew from 2% to 9%. Those 9% (especially the ones in swing states) are the ones that will crown the victor in the election. And if anything, this interview slid more of that 9% to lean Harris.

This interview is going to go over as well as the debate went over for Biden. The only distinction is that his base doesn't care, so he won't be forced out of the nomination. But whether he's stolen the news cycle or not, he's losing his grip on swing states and this only exacerbated his swing state problems. When Harris announces her VP nomination, she'll grab some swing states. Each member of her short list will bring a different subset of the swing states. Then when the Democratic convention hits, she'll actually get a bump, unlike Trump. Trump's selection of Vance killed any bump that he was supposed to get from the RNC convention. This interview was another drive up the exit ramp on the highway to 270. He's getting on the highway, but going the wrong way.

Jokes on them. No one cares except for people who weren't going to vote for her anyway.

Regardless, I'm enjoying watching some of the more normal Rs squirm as Trump rages on. Uncomfortable for them? Tough! It's their fault for buying a ride on the Trump train.

They did this to Obama, too, though. It’s wedge politics where they try to divide the people they know are never going to vote for them. Every once in a while there are trolls here still saying “how come Obama is the first black president when he’s half white?” or “How come we never hear about Obama’s white heritage?” That’s definitely been out there.

I think the PP's point is that the media focus is now on this instead of All-Kamala All the time.

lol.. thanks for the laugh this morning.

Do you see Harris going on conservative network and open herself to questions? We all know it is not happening.

This was not a “liberal network.”

That distinction is immaterial. It was a hostile group of people from the outset and he knew it would be so. Harris would never do the same. She can’t even hold a press conference.

NP but here’s the thing. I honestly don’t think Trump knew it would be a hostile group. Everyone else did- but he is such a textbook narcissist with a strong God complex that he really thinks all ‘blacks’ love him. And love what he did as president. He isn’t faking that part.

But there was no hostility! The interviewer was polite and asked him questions exclusively about THINGS HE HAS ACTUALLY SAID. This was a perfect opportunity to present himself to the black community however he wanted to. He went bonkers. He seemed stressed and old.

+1 how is it hostile to ask him about statements he’s made?

And yet, it's literally just talking about Harris. It has all the subtlety of a toddler grabbing the Mike and yelling "My turn!!!"

All the media was focused on Biden after the debate. There is such a thing as too much attention and Donald is getting it. He looked old and doddering, exposing how racist and feeble he is. Layer that atop his natural off putting nature and… good luck.

I’m glad the crazy version of Trump has reemerged. Everyone that was basing their vote on his calm demeanor in the debate can see how nuts he is for themselves. I knew it would happen. I thought it would take longer than 10 days as Harris became the presumptive nominee.

True, but there are a number of big events coming up that will keep the spotlight on her. Her VP pick, the DNC, how she does in the first debate. He'll have to get increasingly belligerent and unhinged to grab back those media cycles, which is not to his advantage. He doesn't need to compete for the MAGA vote (other than making sure they actually get out to vote), but he needs to compete for the moderates/independents/undecideds.

Yes, let’s get all the facts straight.

Summers in India are way more than “hello.” Churches are simply wrong. Mom is Hindu. Mom raised her since 7…

And, golly, no comment on her pressuring Newsom to veto anti-caste legislation in California? Or the fact that she is Brahmin? Or that her dad is part Indian? Here’s the link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/22/indian-americans-caste-discrimination-newsom-veto/

Imagine if Obama supported discrimination amongst, say, Hutus and Tutsis in the United States. Then we would have a story.

Or if Obama’s dad said he was superior to other African tribes because of a "Gopalan bloodline that goes back more than 1,000 years". That’s what Kamala’s mom said. And that, by the way, is a slave-owning bloodline in India. Here’s the link for that: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-55786214
