Analysis: Trump questions the American-ness of another non-White candidate
briefing at the White House on Thursday, a reporter asked Trump what he thought about it. Rather than disavow it or even distance himself from it, Trump breathed life into the notion. Here’s what he said:
So I just heard that. I heard it today that she doesn’t meet the requirements. And by the way, the lawyer who wrote that piece is a very highly qualified, very talented lawyer. I have no idea if that’s right. I would have assumed the Democrats would have checked that out before she gets chosen to run for vice president. But that’s a very serious — you’re saying that, they’re saying that she doesn’t qualify because she wasn’t born in this country.
The reporter explained that Harris was born in the United States; her parents weren’t. Trump responded: “I don’t know about it. I just heard about it. I’ll certainly take a look.”Trump didn’t outright say Harris couldn’t serve, but he left the question out there. And as we saw with the rumors he propagated about Barack Obama’s eligibility, raising questions is enough to fuel suspicions.
