Former President Donald Trump sparked controversy at the National Association of Black Journalists convention by questioning Vice President Kamala Harris's racial identity, falsely claiming she had only recently identified as Black. Trump's comments were met with strong criticism from Harris, who labeled his remarks as divisive and disrespectful, and called for leadership that values truth and unity. Senator Mark Kelly also condemned Trump, describing him as a 'scared old man' incapable of change. The White House and Harris's campaign team further denounced Trump's statements as repulsive and indicative of his long-standing hostility. Despite the backlash, the NABJ defended their decision to invite Trump, maintaining their practice of engaging with political figures from all sides.
