Lindsey Graham Urges Trump to Cease Racist Attacks on Kamala Harris

Transcript

00:00Before we run out of time, President Trump has raised some incendiary questions about

00:04the Vice President's racial identity.

00:06He reposted an image of her birth certificate on Truth Social this week.

00:11After a lot of criticism for this comment, listen here.

00:16She was always of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage.

00:21I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black

00:26and now she wants to be known as black.

00:28So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black?

00:32Doesn't this kind of language alienate millions of black voters, including from your state?

00:37Yeah, you know, 30 percent of my state is African American.

00:43Nikki Haley is of Indian heritage and one of her children married an African American

00:49Clemson football player.

00:51So here's what I would say to President Trump.

00:53The problem I have with Kamala Harris is not her heritage, it's her judgment.

00:58She has been wrong about everything.

00:59When she tried to explain what she would do about inflation and an upcoming recession,

01:06it made no sense.

01:07It's gibberish.

01:08She's been in the Witness Protection Program.

01:10Nobody will ask her a hard question.

01:13Every day we're talking about her heritage and not her terrible, dangerous liberal record

01:19throughout her entire political life.

01:21It's a good day for her and a bad day for us.

01:24So I would encourage President Trump to prosecute the case against Kamala Harris' bad judgment.

01:30It doesn't seem that he's received that message yet.

01:32I mean, he had an introductory speaker last night sort of double down on this conversation.

01:37Would you advise that he just stop talking about that?

01:42I think, Mr. President, this is your election to lose.

01:45It's important you win to reset a broken border and get the world in good order.

01:49The American people are looking to have their problems solved.

01:52I think your presidency was an incredible presidency for national security and prosperity.

01:59As to Georgia, Georgia is there for the taking.

02:02I think Governor Kemp was a great governor, lowering taxes, less regulation.

02:07I think if you voted for Kemp and you want to vote for Harris, that makes no sense.

02:11I'm hoping that President Trump and Governor Kemp can repair the damage to win Georgia,

02:16a state if we win, we're going to go well on our way to winning 270 electoral votes.

02:22If we lose Georgia, it could be a very long night.

02:25So let's win this election.

02:26How about that?

02:27Let's win an election we can't afford to lose.

02:30Thank you, Senator Lindsey Graham.

02:31Very much appreciate your time this morning.
