Mitchell Let me pick ░░░░░░░░ on the racial component ░░░░░░░░ this because some Republican ░░░░░░░░ the former speaker and ░░░░░░░░ have criticized the racial ░░░░░░░░ the thread of racial ░░░░░░░░ and said that that ░░░░░░░░ not what he should ░░░░░░░░ doing in particular after ░░░░░░░░ attacks at the NABJ ░░░░░░░░ in Chicago I wanted ░░░░░░░░ play some of that ░░░░░░░░ you Clip starts Trump ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ she Indian or is ░░░░░░░░ black Scott She has ░░░░░░░░ identified as a black ░░░░░░░░ Trump But you know ░░░░░░░░ Scott She went to ░░░░░░░░ historically black college Trump ░░░░░░░░ respect either one I ░░░░░░░░ either one but she ░░░░░░░░ doesn t because she ░░░░░░░░ Indian all the way ░░░░░░░░ then all of a ░░░░░░░░ she made a turn ░░░░░░░░ she went she became ░░░░░░░░ black person Scott Just ░░░░░░░░ be clear Clip ends ░░░░░░░░ So I wanted to ░░░░░░░░ you as someone who ░░░░░░░░ dealt with this all ░░░░░░░░ professional life all your ░░░░░░░░ just how do you ░░░░░░░░ to that Someone who ░░░░░░░░ a black person RICE ░░░░░░░░ mean in so many ░░░░░░░░ it s it s ░░░░░░░░ worth dignifying that kind ░░░░░░░░ a base and and ░░░░░░░░ attack Mitchell But as ░░░░░░░░ as a tactic as ░░░░░░░░ campaign tactic we ve ░░░░░░░░ it in previous campaigns ░░░░░░░░ RICE It s it ░░░░░░░░ a tactic that s ░░░░░░░░ s a tactic that ░░░░░░░░ meant to divide and ░░░░░░░░ to denigrate the fact ░░░░░░░░ 10 percent of the ░░░░░░░░ population 33 million Americans ░░░░░░░░ are mixed race have ░░░░░░░░ than one racial background ░░░░░░░░ the fact that somebody ░░░░░░░░ has been president and ░░░░░░░░ running for president can ░░░░░░░░ understand and respect that ░░░░░░░░ is possible to be ░░░░░░░░ mixed race person and ░░░░░░░░ valued and and intelligent ░░░░░░░░ capable and worthy as ░░░░░░░░ else And that as ░░░░░░░░ American and an American ░░░░░░░░ African descent in this ░░░░░░░░ given our history given ░░░░░░░░ this country has handled ░░░░░░░░ of race that people ░░░░░░░░ are mixed race and ░░░░░░░░ and one of those ░░░░░░░░ is black are are ░░░░░░░░ as and and typically ░░░░░░░░ as black And that ░░░░░░░░ what Vice President Harris ░░░░░░░░ done all of her ░░░░░░░░ And frankly it s ░░░░░░░░ just because she went ░░░░░░░░ Howard University and was ░░░░░░░░ a black sorority She ░░░░░░░░ a black person because ░░░░░░░░ is her background her ░░░░░░░░ and that is how ░░░░░░░░ chooses to identify And ░░░░░░░░ doesn t have to ░░░░░░░░ that at the expense ░░░░░░░░ her Indian identity It ░░░░░░░░ possible Andrea to be ░░░░░░░░
