Donald Trump’s onetime attorney and current campaign booster Alina Habba appeared to jump right into playing defense for the former president following his racist lie about his likely Democratic 2024 rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump at the National Association of Black Journalists convention on Wednesday drew widespread condemnation for his false claim that Harris had previously only promoted her Indian heritage and later “happened to turn Black” when it was politically convenient.

But Harris has never hidden any aspect of her heritage and Trump’s offensive comment was just the latest in a long line.

That didn’t stop Habba from ranting at a Trump rally that took place later in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: “I’m going to speak to you, Miss Harris.”

“I’m a strong woman, a mom, a lawyer and an American. And unlike you Kamala, I know who my roots are, I know where I come from and I don’t play around with the Constitution,” she added.

Trump is “innocent of any crime other than loving this country,” Habba claimed of the convicted felon, who was found guilty of all 34 counts in his hush money trial.

Some critics on social media pointed out Habba’s “who my roots are” flub.

Others accused the Trump acolyte of doubling down on MAGA racism against Harris, which commentators have warned is only going to get worse in the lead-up to November’s vote.
