‘The Daily Show’ Rips Trump for Dragging Mindy Kaling Into His Harris Attacks
The Daily Show correspondent and recurring host Ronny Chieng took Trump to task Thursday night for his apparent inability to understand Kamala Harris’ mixed-race background, wondering in particular how and why he decided to use a clip of Harris and the actor Mindy Kaling discussing their Indian heritage to attack his rival.
“As you all know, Vice President Kamala Harris is of Indian and Jamaican descent,” Chieng began, “and who better to understand the nuance of being mixed race than this guy?”
He then played some footage of former president Donald Trump at his disastrous NABJ conference on Wednesday, where he argued that Kamala Harris “became a Black person” after previously claiming to be Indian.
