A Facebook page promoting Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign sought to address the controversy over her ethnicity by highlighting the mixed-race family of Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio.
Called “Ridin’ With Kamala” and branded as a project of the far-left movement Occupy Democrats, the page posted a meme that read, “Fun fact: There are people who are both Indian and black. There are people who are both Indian and white. Hope this helps!”
Vance, pictured here with his wife Usha Vance and their two children, met as law students at Yale University.
The post came after former President Donald Trump was asked at the National Association of Black Journalists’ convention in Chicago this week whether Harris, a potential 2024 Democratic presidential candidate, was a “DEI hire.”
Trump said of Harris:
I’ve known her indirectly for a long time, but not much directly. She was just promoting her Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was black, but a few years ago when she became black, she wants to be known as black. So I don’t know if she’s Indian or black. But, hey, I respect both, but she’s obviously not, because she was Indian all her life and then all of a sudden she turned around and became black.”
