GOP lawmakers expressed their exasperation about the shocking words of their party’s presidential nominee.
The GOP presidential nominee’s comments—in which he claimed not to know Harris “was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black”—was met with gasps at a gathering of the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago. The vice president unsurprisinglySome Republicans publicly slammed Trump’s attacks. Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who is now a Senate candidate, said it’s “unacceptable and abhorrent to attack Vice President Harris or anyone’s racial identity.
The outlet also quoted a pair of unnamed House Republicans who were irked by the former president’s words, one of whom said his remarks were “not a demonstration on how to win over undecided voters,” while another summarized Trump’s NABJ interview as “awful.” “The entire exchange was embarrassing,” one said.
Other GOP figures commented publicly to argue that questioning Harris’ race isn’t a good idea for political reasons. “It’s not a great idea for either of the parties to be playing racial identity politics, whether it’s white dudes for Kamala or whatever this is,” Sen., which noted that the lawmaker remained cautious in criticizing the former president.
Trump, who falsely claimed Harris had been “Indian all the way” until she suddenly “made a turn” and “became a Black person,” did not appear to be heading toward an apology. After making his comments on Wednesday night, he wrote a Truth Social post doubling down, accusing Harris of being a “Stone cold phony.” “She uses everybody, including her racial identity!” he wrote.
