No, Kamala Harris should not dignify attacks on her racial background by “proving” how black she is. The correct strategy is to mock and move on.

This! Mocking makes them madder and it also has them triple down on the things that make them look stupid.

Remain unbothered by this bullshit. Show don’t tell about your excellence and trust that most people want to associate with competence and joy. Continue gliding toward November.

The mocking *is* important. And it needs to be relentless. You *make Trump* move on. Because, otherwise, Trump will not let go, and with the mainstream media in chorus, the narrative shifts. The Harris campaign has been very good about this when attacking *weird* JD.

I think Kamala's quick-reaction team took care of that when they put out a statement saying that people can be two things at once: Harris is both black and Jamaican, while Trump is both a racist AND a rapist.
