Rod Stewart shares post mocking Trump: ‘He became an Orange person'

British singer-songwriter Rod Stewart poked fun at former President Trump for questioning Vice President Harris’s race and ethnicity, saying he never knew Trump “was Orange” until the GOP presidential nominee suddenly “became an Orange person.”

“I didn’t know he was Orange until a number of years ago, when he happened to turn Orange,” Stewart wrote in his post, which featured four headshots of Trump, side by side, appearing to show Trump's skin tone appearing progressively more orange.

“I respect either one, but he obviously doesn’t because all of a sudden he made a turn and he went — he became an Orange person. I think somebody should look into that,” he added.

The language in the post mirrors Trump’s widely panned comments during the National Association of Black Journalists’s (NABJ) convention last week.

Trump falsely said in the NABJ interview that Harris only recently “turned Black” after previously “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,” Trump said last week, in front of an audience of Black journalists.

“But you know what, I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t. Because she was Indian all the way then all of a sudden she made a turn. And she became a Black person,” he continued. “And I think somebody should look into that.”

Harris’s mother emigrated from India, and her father emigrated from Jamaica. She has identified with both aspects of her heritage in public remarks throughout her career.

The tweet was first shared on a big screen at a Las Vegas concert, according to British news outlets. Stewart then posted a photo to Instagram from what seemed to be the moment he displayed the faux tweet during his concert. The enlarged tweet takes up most of the image, with Stewart and his fellow musicians appearing on stage below.

The Hill has reached out to Trump’s campaign for a response.
