Democrats defend fellow candidate Kamala Harris from 'racist' attacks by conservatives, Donald Trump Jr.
Fellow Democratic presidential candidates stepped up to defend Sen. Kamala Harris on Saturday from what they termed"racist" attacks.
"Kamala Harris is *not* an American Black. She is half Indian and half Jamaican," he tweeted."I'm so sick of people robbing American Blacks of our history. It's disgusting. Now using it for debate time at #DemDebate2? These are my people not her people. Freaking disgusting."Alexander openly claims he is a"#NeverKamala" supporter.
"Don’s tweet was simply him asking if it was true that Kamala Harris was half Indian because it’s not something he had ever heard before," the spokesman told ABC News."And once he saw that folks were misconstruing the intent of his tweet he quickly deleted it." The attacks against @KamalaHarris are racist and ugly. We all have an obligation to speak out and say so. And it’s within the power and obligation of tech companies to stop these vile lies dead in their tracks.
In the years prior to his candidacy, in 2011, President Donald Trump repeatedly -- and falsely -- questioned whether Obama was an American citizen. Even during the campaign, five years after Obama produced his long-form birth certificate from Hawaii, Trump refused to answer a question from The Washington Post about whether he believed Obama was American.
