The hashtag #WhenIturnedBlack is now trending on X as social media users troll Donald Trump over his unhinged comments claiming Kamala Harris “happened to turn Black.”

Amelia Neath reports on what happened next...

Myriam Page reports.

The former president spoke at an indoor rally where thousands packed in to see him just hours after he appeared for a confrontational interview with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) in Chicago. In that appearance, Trump insulted his opponent, Kamala Harris, and falsely accused her of lying about her race — stating that she recently “became Black”. Harris, who is biracial, is Black and Indian-American. He walked out to Lee Greenwood’s “Proud to be an American”, days after Greenwood himself appeared at the Republican National Convention and endorsed him.

Hours after former president Donald Trump questioned whether she was truly a Black woman, Vice President Kamala Harris slammed Trump’s racist remark as she spoke before a cheering crowd of members of a predominantly Black sorority in Houston, Texas.

Harris told sisters of the Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, inc — a member of the “Divine Nine” group of historically Black fraternities and sororities — that Trump’s remarks before the National Association of Black Journalists, in which he claimed that she had “all of a sudden she made a turn and ... became a Black person,” were “the same old show” of “divisiveness and disrespect” from the ex-president.

Trump’s comments came during a bizarre 30-minute sit-down at the journalism organization’s annual conference in Chicago moments after he told ABC’s Rachel Scott that he “didn’t know” that Harris “was Black.”

Donald Trump introduced the woman who operates his new favorite immigration chart, which he claims has “saved his life”.

“I love that chart. I’m gonna sleep with that chart for the rest of my life,” he told the cheering crowd.

“You know the amazing stuff, the people that operate the computers and all the brilliant equipment things we have backstage.

“She said to me… she’s great… she should come out, just tell her to come out here for a second, quick, quick, quick you gotta get her out. She’s never done this before… she saved my life in a sense…here she is! Wow!”

The former president shared an awkward embrace with the young woman and gave her a peck on the cheek, before describing her as “a computer genius”.

She declined to say anything major, sheepishly saying “hi” into the microphone before exiting the stage to more cheers from Trump supporters.

Seemingly in reference to Harris’s Georgia rally, Trump said he didn’t need a “star” to pull a massive crowd in Harrisburg.

“It’s a great crowd ... over 20,000 people couldn’t get in and we didn’t need anybody to get the people here. We didn’t need a star,” Trump said.

“In about six minutes everyone was leaving they were pouring out we don’t need that,” he claimed.

Trump went on to say that he would be returning to the site of his assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Speaking to NBC News on Tuesday, Vance defended his past attack but clarified that he did not mean for it to include those having difficulty conceiving.
