So I tried to see what was going on over there last night and they had endless time of videos and screen grabs on display while the audience waited around. They cycled some screengrabs periodically, and one that I could not quite fathom why they showed was a headline from an article
"Watch Kamala Harris sworn in as first Indian-American senator" with a large photo of her.
So why would they put that up? Seems like a nice thing about her.
Could it be as low as him trying to double down on the whole shit of his (paraphrase) 'she was Indian, and then she turned black" ??? I hope not, anyone have any other idea of why they would show something nice about our candidate on their screens?
FYI, One of many times it was up there can be seen at ~2hr 47 min mark on this video of the event:

I really detest them.
