Former President Donald Trump continued to dig at his rival’s racial identity following a contentious appearance before a large group of Black media professionals.

Less than 24-hours after his live interview before the National Association of Black Journalists, Trump continued to call Vice President Kamala Harris’ ethnicity into question, sharing an image of a past visit with her mother’s side of the family in an attempt to prove his claim that she recently began falsely identifying herself as a Black person.

“Thank you Kamala for the nice picture you sent from many years ago! Your warmth, friendship, and love of your Indian Heritage are very much appreciated,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social media platform, seeming to suggest the widely shared family portrait had been given to him personally.

Despite pushback from many top Republican lawmakers and commentators that he should keep the conversation focused on Harris’ record instead of her race, Trump doubled down on his assertions that Harris has been adjusting her identity to suit the moment.

Conjuring images of his entrance into presidential politics, vis-à-vis his questions about former President Barack Obama’s birth certificate, Trump went on to share a post including an alleged copy of Harris’ birth certificate, in which the post’s author — far-right commentator Laura Loomer — claims the document does not sufficiently indicate she is “Black or African.” The shared image does indicate her father is Jamaican.

According to Harris’ campaign, Trump’s attacks demonstrate desperation and are just more of “the same hostility he has shown throughout his life, throughout his term in office, and throughout his campaign for president as he seeks to regain power.”

A Trump campaign senior advisor, after the former president claimed he “crushed” his performance at the NABJ convention despite the fact his campaign staff abruptly pulled him from the stage 25 minutes early, said the interviewers were to blame for any apparent shortcomings.

“Today’s biased and rude treatment from certain hostile members of the media will backfire massively. You would think that the media would have learned something from their repeated episodes of fake outrage ever since President Trump first came down the escalator in 2015, but some just refuse to ‘get it.’ This will be their undoing in 2024,” he said.

There should be no real doubts about Harris’ past. The vice president is simply the product of two unique cultures.

Harris is indeed an Indian-descended American, as Trump asserts. She was, in fact, the first Indian-American elected to the United State’s Senate when she took a seat in the upper chamber of Congress in 2017. Harris has never been shy about the south-Indian heritage she inherited from her mother.

Neither, however, has she attempted to step away from her African roots, grown as they were in American soil by way of Jamaica, the place from which her Stanford professor-emeritus father hails. Harris even attended Howard University, one of the nation’s foremost Historically Black Colleges and Universities, where she was a member of the nation’s original intercollegiate African American sorority, the 1,000-chapter-strong Alpha Kappa Alpha.
