During a recent interview, GOP Rep. Byron Donalds addressed the controversy surrounding former President Donald Trump's comments on Vice President Kamala Harris' racial identity. Donalds, a close ally of Trump, dismissed the issue as a 'phony controversy,' stating that most people do not care about it.
Donalds pointed out that when Harris entered the United States Senate, the Associated Press referred to her as the first Indian American senator. He highlighted a 2016 AP article that described Harris as both the first Indian woman elected to a Senate seat and the second Black woman.
