Lamarie Austin-Stripling, a mixed-race voter from North Carolina, said during a “Morning Joe” segment on Friday that she does not “feel some kinship” with Vice President Kamala Harris.

A panel of mixed-race voters, including Republican North Carolina congressional candidate Abdul Ali, discussed their views on Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump in anticipation of the 2024 election.

Stripling mentioned that she perceives Harris, who is also of mixed race, as frequently “giggling and having a girl moment” during her public appearances rather than addressing the significant crises currently affecting the U.S.

“I find a lot of [Harris’] trajectory to not be my brand of woman [or] leader,” Stripling said. “We’ve got three major international crises going on, and somebody applying to be Commander-in-Chief. As a woman, I want to see you do more than appeal to giggling and having a girl moment on the stage.”

Harris, whose father is Jamaican and mother is Indian, has promoted herself as a historic candidate shattering glass ceilings.

However, The New York Times noted on July 24 that her Indian heritage is “little advertised.” In early August, Indian-Americans expressed to the Daily Caller that Harris only highlights her Indian background when it is “convenient” for her.

During his appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention on July 31, Trump claimed he was unaware that Harris was Black, suggesting that she primarily identified as Indian until she wanted “to be known” as Black.

“Well, I can say no, maybe it’s a little bit different,” Trump said. “So, I have known her a long time indirectly, not directly very much. She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she black? I respect either on. I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went and became a black person.”
