At an event in Houston tonight for the historically Black sorority Sigma Gamma Rho, Harris said Trump’s comments at an appearance at an annual convention of Black journalists today were divisive and disrespectful.
“It was the same old show — the divisiveness and the disrespect,” Harris said. “And let me just say the American people deserve better. The American people deserve better.”
Trump had engaged in a hostile exchange with journalists asking him questions during a panel at the event this afternoon, and he had falsely questioned Harris’ Black identity, saying that a number of years ago “she happened to turn Black and now wants to be known as Black.”
