Rep. Byron Donalds said former President Donald Trump’s comments about Vice President Kamala Harris are being blown out of proportion.
The former president has come under fire in recent days for suggesting last week that Ms. Harris hid her blackness — her father is Jamaican and her mother Indian — until recently because of political convenience.
Mr. Donalds, who is Black, said Sunday that “I don’t really care [and] most people don’t” about the remarks, but still offered a qualified defense.
“This is really a phony controversy,” Mr. Donalds said on ABC’s “This Week” talk show. “But if we’re going to be accurate, when Kamala Harris went into the United States Senate, it was AP that said she was the Indian-American United States senator. It was actually played up a lot.”
Dude built his cult on the back of publicly questioning Obama’s citizenship and now the fuckers are shocked that he’s a racist?
His father (who was arrested marching with the KKK) and him were fined for discrimination against people of color at Trump properties. There are stories of him purposely hiring immigrants (and/or undocumented workers) and then pay them pennies on the dollar (or not at all). He also allegedly would hide any workers of color when he knew a mob boss would be visiting his casinos. He also took out full pay ads calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5.
The list just goes on and on …
