(CNN) President Donald Trump once again drove the dignity of the American presidency into the ditch this week by raising a false and racist conspiracy theory about Kamala Harris, elevating the efforts of the alt-right to portray her as “other” because of her mixed-race heritage.
It was not surprising that Trump would try to exploit Harris’ background for personal gain given that he is running the most racially-charged presidential campaign that America has seen since the 1968 run of former Alabama Gov. George Wallace.
After all, he elevated his own stature from the realm of a New York gadfly to the mainstream of American politics by trafficking lies about the eligibility of President Barack Obama, who was the nation’s first Black president.

It is such a primitive lie, but then lots of primitive people might belief it … (and there are lots around…)
This argument really annoys me. Harris is first and foremost of mixed race, not Black, being half Indian from her mother’s side , and the other half an obvious mixture of white and black. Her father was very light skinned, perhaps lighter than her mother. So why is Black always mentioned first? That drop of black blood does not make her black! Much the same with Meghan Markel and Obama. No reference is ever made to the white side. Why not? But I don’t expect anyone to be able to give a logical answer.
Only Americans can understand that. I had similar thoughts to Renate …
