Harris blasts Trump attacks on her heritage as ‘same old show of divisiveness’ at Texas sorority event: Live

Kamala Harris smiled and laughed as she addressed racist remarks made by Donald Trump to Black journalists on Wednesday, describing the comments as “the same old show of divisiveness and disrespect.”

Trump had appeared at the annual meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago, where he wildly, and falsely, claimed that the vice president only recently “became a Black woman.” Harris’s father is from Jamaica and her mother is Indian.

Delivering remarks at a Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority gathering in Houston, Texas, on Wednesday evening, she told crowds: “The American people deserve better.

“The American people deserve a leader who tells the truth who does not respond with hostility when confronted with the truth…that understands that our differences do not divide us.”

Harris appearance in Texas is her second since becoming the Democrats ’ likely presidential nominee, appearing on Tuesday in Georgia alongside rap stars Quavo and Megan Thee Stallion , as she dared Trump to take her on in a live debate .

Meanwhile, it was announced that Harris will make her first appearance with her choice of running mate in Philadelphia on Tuesday — though her campaign has stressed that she has not yet made a decision who that will be.
