'She Has Run Away from the Community': Trump's Son Questions Kamala Harris' Ties to Indian-Americans

News 18  

US President Donald Trump’s son Eric has questioned Democratic vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s ties to Indian Americans claiming that “she has totally run away from the community.” The attack comes as the election battle intensifies ahead of the November 3 election and the two parties are courting the Indian community with an eye on the swing states where a small margin of votes can determine the national outcome. Speaking at the launch of Indian Voices for Trump in Atlanta on Tuesday, he attacked the Democratic Party as a “radical left” organisation that he said is against the values of Indian Americans and tried to link Harris to it, but the context of his assertion was muddled. In her speech at the Democratic Party Convention last month accepting the vice-presidential nomination, she spoke of her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, who she said came to the US from India and “raised us to know and be proud of our Indian heritage.” She also used the Tamil word for younger maternal aunts, “chithi”, to refer to her mother’s sisters. Ritesh Desai, an organiser of the Indian Voices for Trump meeting, thanked the “president for recognising our contribution to this country.” He echoed Eric Trump, asserting that the differences between the Democrats and Republicans made this election a choice between “socialism or democracy, law and order or chaos, shutdown or economic progress.” Eric Trump had visited a Hindu temple before the 2016 elections to campaign.
