00:00U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump falsely suggests his Democratic rival,
00:05Kamala Harris, had downplayed her Black heritage.
00:08So, I don't know, is she Indian or is she Black?
00:11She was Indian all the way and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went, she
00:16became a Black person.
00:18Trump draws jeers from the audience, the country's largest annual gathering of Black journalists.
00:23Harris, who is of Indian and Jamaican heritage, has long self-identified as both Black and
00:28Asian.
00:29She is the first Black person and Asian-American person to serve as vice president.
00:33In response, Harris says,
00:35And it was the same old show, the divisiveness and the disrespect.
00:44And let me just say, the American people deserve better.
00:49In National Reuters, Ipsos poll showed Harris leading Trump 43 to 42 percent, within the
00:54poll's margin of error.
