Some of your own supporters, including Republicans on Capitol Hill, have labeled Vice President Kamala Harris,
00:06
who is the first black and Asian-American woman to serve as vice president, be on a major party ticket, as a DEI hire.
00:13
Is that acceptable language to you? And will you tell those Republicans and those supporters to stop it?
00:18
How do you define DEI? Go ahead. How do you define it?
00:22
Diversity, equity, inclusion?
00:24
Okay, yeah. Go ahead. Is that what your definition?
00:26
That is literally the words.
00:27
Give me a definition then. Would you give me a definition?
00:30
Give me a definition.
00:31
Sir, I'm asking you a question.
00:32
No, no. You have to define it. Define it for me, if you would.
00:35
I just defined it, sir. Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris
00:39
is only on the ticket because she is a black woman?
00:41
Well, I can say no. I think it's maybe a little bit different. So,
00:45
I've known her a long time indirectly, not directly very much. And she was always of
00:52
Indian heritage. And she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black
00:58
until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black. And now she wants to be known as black.
01:03
So, I don't know. Is she Indian or is she black?
01:05
She is always identified as a black woman.
01:06
I respect either one. I respect either one. But she obviously doesn't.
01:11
Because she was Indian all the way. And then all of a sudden,
01:14
she made a turn and she went, she became a black person.
01:17
Just to be clear, sir, do you believe that she is a-
01:19
I think somebody should look into that too when you ask a continue in a very hostile, nasty tone.
01:25
It's a direct question, sir.
01:28
I don't think so.
01:28
I don't think so.

I don't think so.
