Republican lawmakers were horrified by Donald Trump’s comments questioning Kamala Harris’ racial identity.
The GOP presidential nominee’s comments—in which he claimed not to know Harris “was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black”—were met with gasps at a gathering of the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago.
Politico reported that “virtually every Republican” it contacted about Trump’s new attack line was “flat-out distraught by what they perceive as a self-inflicted wound not only for Trump, but for Republicans down the ballot.”
