Trump campaign deploying Black surrogates on airwaves following NABJ appearance
From CNN's Alayna Treene
Donald Trump’s campaign is deploying its top Black surrogates to span the airwaves Thursday, a senior Trump adviser told CNN, following the former president’s controversial and false claims regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’ heritage during a panel conversation at the National Association of Black Journalists convention a day prior.
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds and the campaign’s director of Black media, Janiyah Thomas, are all expected to do television interviews on Thursday, the adviser said.
“We’re not gonna shy away” from Trump’s comments, the adviser added.
Trump himself has continued to double down on his Wednesday remarks, sharing a series of posts to social media questioning and mocking Harris’ identity.
The former president shared a photo Thursday of Harris — whose father is from Jamaica and mother was from India — wearing a sari in a family photo, writing on Truth Social: “Thank you Kamala for the nice picture you sent from many years ago! Your warmth, friendship, and love of your Indian Heritage are very much appreciated.”
