D.L. Hugley's DNC zingers: Harris has been Black longer than Trump's been Republican
Actor D.L. Hughley spoke at the final night of the Democratic National Convention to criticize GOP nominee Donald Trump's comment that he didn't realize was Vice President Kamala Harris a Black woman.
"I guarantee you Kamala has been Black, a lot longer than Trump's been a Republican," Hugley said.
The stand-up comedian added that he never thought he would be supporting a prosecutor and a teacher and regretted assumptions he's made about her record.
Hughley said he believes an apology should be louder than an accusation saying "I'm here apologizing to the whole damn world."
