Janet Jackson Faces Backlash Over Harris Remarks

Janet Jackson faced significant backlash following her remarks in a Guardian interview, where she questioned Vice President Kamala Harris's racial identity, claiming Harris is not Black but Indian. This statement was promptly criticized by many, including co-hosts of 'The View' such as Ana Navarro, who accused Jackson of spreading misinformation, while Whoopi Goldberg defended her, suggesting Jackson might have spoken out of ignorance rather than malice. The controversy was further complicated when an unauthorized apology was issued on Jackson's behalf, which her representatives later disavowed. Jackson's comments echoed conspiracy theories previously propagated by former President Donald Trump, who questioned Harris's Black identity. The incident has sparked a broader debate on racial identity and misinformation in public discourse.
