Trump on Harris' racial identity: "I don't care what she is. Whatever she wants to be is okay with me. All I can say is I read where she was not black where she put out and then I read that she was black and that's okay with me."
Trump continues after Harris rebuts pointing out his racism: "This is the most divisive presidency. They are destroying our country. If we go back many years, lots of people agreed with me on the Central Park Five. They plead guilty. Then they plead they're not guilty. But that was years ago because there's nothing now. I built one of the greatest economies in the history of the world. I'm going to build it again. They have no idea what the economy is. She IS Biden. The worst inflation we've ever had, a horrible economy and she can't get away with that."
i'm. fucking. dead.
"She has a plan to defund the police. She has a plan to confiscate everyone's gun. She has a plan to not allow fracking in Pennsylvania and not anywhere else. That's her plan until a few weeks ago."
Wait didn’t he say he would defund the police earlier in the debate? He has so much babble. And I love how she said they have guns too.
It was a moment of great personal self-affirmation for Kamala Harris. A bar had been met.
"where she put out"...was that a comment about sexual proclivity?
No, he was saying that she "put out a statement" about her racial identity.
Almost certainly.
