  • @daisuke6072
    Given all the personal attacks thrown at Trump, it's a legitimate question for him to ask. Any adult can see that but woke Democrats are not adults.

    So is she Indian or Black?????? Trump 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
  • @alexanderhanksx
    1/4 Jamacian, 1/4 white, 1/2 Indian and raised Indian. If it weren't politically advantageous, none of you would think she was black or let her use "the word."
  • The media is criticizing Trump? Gee! That is new! lolololololololololll
  • As a black woman. I agree with Trump. She just going to keep giving our money to the world.❤
  • @champ2319
    This reporter is the biggest racist on the stage. Enough with the race baiting questions. The very notion that black Americans are dumb enough to fall for this is by nature racism. Wake up America! It's a scam.
  • @PARMYGUY

If its a soft sale she looses. Oh we will be able to tell if she was prep for those question so dont try it. We want to see the bais those with blinder on will see it.
