Trump She was always ░░░░░░░░ Indian heritage and she ░░░░░░░░ only promoting Indian heritage ░░░░░░░░ didn t know she ░░░░░░░░ black until a number ░░░░░░░░ years ago when she ░░░░░░░░ to turn black and ░░░░░░░░ she wants to be ░░░░░░░░ as black So I ░░░░░░░░ t know is she ░░░░░░░░ or is she black ░░░░░░░░ you know what crosstalk ░░░░░░░░ She has always identified ░░░░░░░░ a black woman She ░░░░░░░░ to a historically black ░░░░░░░░ Trump I respect either ░░░░░░░░ I respect either one ░░░░░░░░ she obviously doesn t ░░░░░░░░ ends MACCALLUM All right ░░░░░░░░ I want to give ░░░░░░░░ a chance to react ░░░░░░░░ that No doubt it ░░░░░░░░ going to get attention ░░░░░░░░ already is Ramaswamy Yeah ░░░░░░░░ look on a very ░░░░░░░░ level my parents were ░░░░░░░░ to this country legal ░░░░░░░░ from southern India The ░░░░░░░░ same part of India ░░░░░░░░ her mother also emigrated ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ hard fact Martha it ░░░░░░░░ just a fact whether ░░░░░░░░ like it or not ░░░░░░░░ many Indian Americans in ░░░░░░░░ United States are indeed ░░░░░░░░ offended by the way ░░░░░░░░ has suddenly has cast ░░░░░░░░ the Indian American side ░░░░░░░░ her identity She leaned ░░░░░░░░ it when she ran ░░░░░░░░ office in California big ░░░░░░░░ American and Indian American ░░░░░░░░ So she wore that ░░░░░░░░ it was convenient she ░░░░░░░░ wearing a different identity ░░░░░░░░ when it s politically ░░░░░░░░ on a national stage ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ should be relying on ░░░░░░░░ ethnic identities at all ░░░░░░░░ re actually American and ░░░░░░░░ problem is when you ░░░░░░░░ Kamala Harris and you ░░░░░░░░ do lean into your ░░░░░░░░ politics then you open ░░░░░░░░ door to that type ░░░░░░░░ criticism But If you ░░░░░░░░ me that shouldn t ░░░░░░░░ how this election is ░░░░░░░░ one way or another ░░░░░░░░ should be decided on ░░░░░░░░ own identity as Americans ░░░░░░░░ what our vision is ░░░░░░░░ the future of the ░░░░░░░░ And the number one ░░░░░░░░ missing in Kamala Harris ░░░░░░░░ candidacy is that she ░░░░░░░░ that vision for the ░░░░░░░░ That s what we ░░░░░░░░ to focus on.”
