'It's the same old show': Harris dismisses attacks by Trump on her racial identity

On Wednesday, in an appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), Trump antagonised senior black journalists and questioned Harris's race, saying: "She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn black."

imageHis interview, which was meant to last an hour, according to Axios, was cut short after 34 minutes.

In Houston, Harris appeared unruffled and kept her remarks on Trump's comments brief.

"This afternoon," she said, pausing for boos from the crowd. "Donald Trump spoke at the annual meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists. And it was the same old show: the divisiveness and the disrespect. And let me just say, the American people deserve better.
