Singer Janet Jackson is refusing to apologize for stating that Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris is “Indian” and “not black.”
The comments from the music star, who is black, provoked outrage from the Democrats and their allies in the liberal media.
Amid the backlash, corporate media outlets reported that individuals claiming to represent Jackson issued an apology, supposedly on her behalf.
However, she refuted the “apology” and Jackson’s manager asserted that she has not walked back the comments and has no plans to apologize.
In an interview with the Guardian on Saturday, the 58-year-old singer was asked about her thoughts on Harris potentially becoming the first black female president.
“Well, you know what they supposedly said?” Jackson said.
“She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.”
The left-wing newspaper’s interviewer then argued that Harris is both black and Indian.
“Her father’s white,” Jackson responded.
“That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days.
“I was told that they discovered her father was white.”
Buzzfeed reported that Jackson’s manager, Mo Elmasri, released a statement on Sunday to apologize for the remarks.
Elmasri claimed Jackson’s comments were “based on misinformation” rather than her actual thoughts on Harris.
