J.D. Vance has called the widespread criticism surrounding Donald Trump’s comments regarding the racial identity of Kamala Harris as “hysterical,” while blaming the media for “overreacting” in the hours since.
At the National Association of Black Journalists Convention in Chicago on Wednesday, Trump boldly–and incorrectly–claimed Harris “turned Black,” and questioned, “Is she Indian or is she Black?”
“She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage,” Trump said.
