Kamala’s campaign isn’t happy about this…
On Saturday, a clip of local CBS news affiliate reporter Joel D. Smith speaking with a group of potential Black voters at a barbershop last week regarding their opinion on Harris is going viral.
“Is Kamala gonna make you a little more likely or less likely to vote Democrat?” Smith asked the men.
Before answering the question, one of the men addressed the barber, saying, “Greg, hold on Greg. Is Kamala Black, yes or no?”
Surprised?

“I’m gonna let her speak on that, but to me, no,” he responded.
The man then turned to the others sitting next to him and asked the same question.
“I share that same view,” one responded.
“I heard she wasn’t,” another said. “I heard she’s half Black and half Asian.”
CNN host Michael Smerconish aired the clip and noted the remarks were recorded prior to Trump’s contentious appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) last Wednesday. During a Q&A event, Trump said Harris changed her racial background.
“She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage,” Trump said. “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. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?”
Trump’s comments received swift pushback for attacking Harris’ “Blackness.”
