Former President Donald Trump underscored Vice President Kamala Harris’s Indian heritage on Thursday by sharing a photo of her family.
“Thank you Kamala for the nice picture you sent from many years ago!” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Your warmth, friendship, and love of your Indian Heritage are very much appreciated.”

Trump’s Truth on Thursday comes one day after he said about Harris, “I didn’t know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black, and, now, she wants to be known as black.”
Trump’s line of attack suggests Harris uses her dual heritage out of convenience.
“Kamala Harris is Indian when she’s raising money and black when she’s pandering for votes,” said Mike Davis, founder and president of the pro-Trump Article III Project.
Kamala is black.

As Politico Playbook acknowledged Thursday, however, a Business Insider headline from 2016 read, “California’s Kamala Harris becomes first Indian-American US senator.”
The Trump campaign cast the Business Insider headline on a screen at Trump’s Thursday rally:
