" 'Kamala Harris's family didn't suffer American segregation," Alexander said, saying she "spent most of her formative years in Canada in an Indian household."
" 'I'm calling her out because she stole debate time claiming that her family suffered Jim Crow and civil rights discrimination in America, when that's not the case," Alexander said in his video.
"Harris did not specifically claim "Jim Crow" suffering by her ancestors, but she did make a personal claim of discrimination as a child.
" 'As the only black person on this stage, I would like to speak on the issue of race," Harris said in what many saw as her break-out moment in the debate. She then recalled a story about neighbors who wouldn't let their children play with Harris and her sister "because we were black." She then questioned Biden's record on race, specifically his cooperation with southern senators to "oppose busing" in the 1970s. "There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public school, and she was bused to school every day. That little girl was me."
