Kamala Harris has responded to Donald Trump‘s Wednesday rant where he claimed she ‘happened to turn Black’ a few years ago.

Taking the stage at the Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc.’s 60th International Biennial Boulé in Houston, Harris addressed the interview hours before, where Trump insisted that ‘all of a sudden, she made a turn’.

His comments came at a gathering of Black journalists in Chicago, as an interviewer asked him whether he agreed with Republican sentiment that his rival a ‘DEI hire.’

Asking the journalist ‘to define DEI’, he went on to question Harris’s heritage.

The Vice President, in turn, said ‘the American people deserve better,’ in a speech that also urged the African-American sorority to ‘fight’ because ‘there is so much at stake.’

‘This afternoon Donald Trump spoke at the annual meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists’, Harris said during her speech.   

‘And it was the same old show: the divisiveness and the disrespect.

‘Let me just say, the American people deserve better. 

‘A leader who tells the truth,’ she went on. ‘Who does not respond with hostility and anger when confronted with the facts. We deserve a leader who understands our differences do not divide us.

‘They are an essential source of our strength,’ she added.

She appeared to attempt to stay above the fray seen since the interview, however, electing to not directly quote it or refer to the comments aired by the conservative earlier in the day.
