A fortnight ago Donald Trump was on top of the world. Up in the polls against a besieged Joe Biden, he soaked up rapturous applause at the Republican National Convention and called for unity in America.

What a difference two weeks makes.

With Biden out of the race, his presumptive replacement Kamala Harris has been dominating the airwaves and attention. Maybe that's why Mr Trump has chosen to question her ethnicity, prompting Democrat outrage and dominating the headlines again.

    Trying to make Trump look wrong but she her self said she is Indian
  • @richardnixon7248
    She's obviously both. I don't know why this is so hard to understand.

    I seen clips of Kamala saying herself that she is Indian
  • @KBfin...
    In my understanding, Kamala Harris is of mixed heritage, with Black and Indian ancestry. Similarly, Barack Obama is of mixed Black and Irish ancestry. They have a dual identity, which allows them to adapt better to different situations, similar to having dual citizenship.

    The real question is , “ is any USA politician human ??
  • @aymiesam
    He was 100% right, she always described herself as Indian.
  • @leonpreece7229
    Bruh I think we should be concerned. If someone doesn't talk about their race 24/7 it doesn't mean they are making it up. Donald Trump doesn't talk about being orange 24/7 yet we know that it ain't a lie. Wtf is he even on?
  • @thomaspaine5601
    She did indeed identify herself as Indian. There are videos where she does so. But those videos are not shown here by CH4. Strange that.
  • @dazjackson1972
    Wasn't C4 one of the outlets that was supporting Huw Edwards not too long back?
  • I love the way Krishnan can thoroughly cover his bases and sources in such an even-handed way, which makes the truth kaleidoscopically clear.
  • @whatiskarmacouk
    shes both, depending on the situation, who she is talking to and whichever way she thinks will get her votes. If she goes on Indian Tv then shes Indian, not half indian and half jamaican
  • Trump' negativity and never ceasing insults have gotten to a point where he has forgotten to speak about policy. Even when he teeters on policy such as tackling the migrant problem on the US southern border or about the war in Ukraine he ultimately ends up demonising those he speaks about and throwing insults left, right and centre at his political opponents and even President Zelensky and NATO member countries. Any electorate can only stomach so much of this negativity and if Trump continues with this line of rhetoric and he undoubtedly will, then he's handing votes over to Kamala Harris each and every time he speaks. Serves him right.

    I think "the weird one"thinks Indian means native American. 🇪🇺💙🇺🇲
