Former president Donald Trump has falsely claimed that his 2024 Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, "happened to turn black" a few years ago, saying that "all of a sudden, she made a turn" in her identity.
Trump's comments at a gathering of black journalists in Chicago came when an interviewer asked him whether he agreed with Republicans on Capitol Hill who have characterised Harris as a "DEI hire". Trump responded by questioning Harris' heritage.
"She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black?" the former president said.
