New controversy in American politics
US Vice President Kamala Harris has strongly attacked former President Donald Trump. The attack comes after Trump questioned Harris’s racial identity. Harris said in a video message that she had dealt with all types of criminals in her previous legal career.
Kamala Harris’s legal experience
“Before becoming Vice President and U.S. Senator, I was an elected Attorney General and District Attorney. Before that, I was a courtroom prosecutor,” Harris explained in her message. She added, “In these roles, I’ve encountered all kinds of criminals. I’ve come across individuals who abuse women, deceive customers, and violate the law for their personal gain. So listen carefully when I say, I’m Donald Trump.” I know people like Trump; I’ve dealt with them before.
Trump’s controversial statement
Donald Trump had questioned the racial identity of Kamala Harris during his election campaign. He had said, “She has always been of Indian origin, and she has just promoted Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was black until she turned black a few years ago. Now she comes out with a black identity. I’m unsure whether she is Indian or Black.
Kamala Harris’s answer
On Trump’s statement, Kamala Harris said that the American people “deserve better than this.” She described Trump’s statements as an attack not only against herself but against all women and minorities.
Kamala Harris is of Indian origin. His mother is Indian, and his father is Jamaican. Both of them came and settled in America. She is not only the first woman of color, but also the first Asian American Vice President. If Harris wins the upcoming election, she will become the country’s first female president.
