Former President Donald Trump, who ended his appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago early and questioned Vice President Kamala Harris’ race in a series of now-viral remarks, took to Truth Social on Wednesday to announce that he “crushed it” during the interview. “The questions were Rude and Nasty, often in the form of a statement, but we CRUSHED IT,” Trump wrote in his post. Trump very publicly asked during the conference whether Vice President Kamala Harris was Indian or Black, sparking derision both from the panel on stage with him and among viewers online. “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black,” Trump added. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called Trump’s comments “repulsive” and “insulting” during a briefing, adding “only she (Harris) can speak to her experience. Only she can speak to what it’s like.” Trump then doubled down on Truth Social writing, “Crazy Kamala is saying she’s Indian, not Black. This is a big deal. Stone cold phony. She uses everybody, including her racial identity!”
