Is Trump confusing Kamala Harris with Nikki Haley when he said she "turned black"?

Apologies if this has already been covered.

1. No he is just a fucking racist

[Girard442]

3. That he is, but it's inexplicable, even for a racist.

5. Agree

2. Nope it was all planned. his surrogates have been out in full force racism since the interview

4. I think so

I sometimes get a glitch where I say the wrong word, for example if I'm identifying a tree as white pine when I mean white oak. I imagine my brain just pulling out the wrong word from the same file. I think Nikki Haley and Kamala Harris were both in the "Indian" file. Oops.

6. Makes sense, I can see this

happening in his cracked brain

7. It's quite possible.

[Doodley]

8. No, he knew what he was doing.

9. I think there's some right wing talking point about Harris's background

that he heard somewhere and his comment is an attempt to repeat it. Like a 3rd grader giving a book report on a book they didn’t read and barely skimmed the description on the back cover.

10. I've heard right-wing Republicans question her "blackness" before

This train of thought definitely was out there in the racist community. Trump was parroting it for the consumption of MAGA nation.

11. Just a repeat of them saying Obama was not really black.

That he had a Kenyan dad and a white mom, so no African American slave descent? On X, there were MAGA gotcha posts showing her dad was listed as Jamacian. So, just like Bob Marley, she can't be black.

12. Why would he have to mix her up with Nicki Haley?

Harris IS half Indian.
