How to resolve AdBlock issue? Birtherism 2020
Donald Trump Jr. retweeted a reported bot-aided tweet, (later deleted the tweet) questioning Senator Kamala Harris doesn't represent U.S. blacks. Harris stood out Thursday night at the presidential debate, talking about her personal experience bused as a child during desegregation. Her father was born in Jamaica. Harris, an American of both Jamaican and Indian descent, was born in Oakland, California.
The original tweet by "Ali Alexander" is an unverified Twitter account. In a video he said Harris cannot represent American blacks, she has "no ancestors who suffered American Slavery, the Civil War, nor Jim Crow."
He is a far-right political operative and conspiracy theorist Ali Akbar, or Ali Abdul Razaq Akbar.Politico is a pro-Trump supporter. Politco reported the eve of 2016 election, Robert Mercer donated $60,000 to a PAC that Alexander advises.
