Barack Obama calls out Donald Trump's racist remarks and questions his understanding of ethnicity at a Kamala Harris campaign rally in Wisconsin.

Former President Barack Obama addressed a crowd in Wisconsin on Sunday, criticizing GOP presidential contender Donald Trump's racist comments and lack of understanding of ethnicity. Obama pointed out Trump's demeaning statements and urged voters not to support someone who doesn't care about their communities. He also condemned Trump's offensive remarks about various ethnic groups, including Mexicans and Haitians.

Obama also questioned why Muslim and Jewish Americans would support a candidate who has engaged with Holocaust deniers and imposed a 'so-called Muslim ban.' He highlighted Trump's divisive rhetoric and emphasized the importance of voting for a candidate who respects all communities.

At the rally, Trump made derogatory comments comparing himself to NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo, prompting Obama to highlight the absurdity of Trump's statements. He emphasized the need for unity and respect for diverse backgrounds, criticizing Trump's divisive behavior and lack of empathy.

Notably, Trump's remarks about Antetokounmpo, a Greek citizen of Nigerian descent, sparked controversy and raised questions about Trump's understanding of ethnicity. Antetokounmpo, a prominent basketball player for Greece, has no connection to Trump's Greek heritage. Obama's speech underscored the importance of electing leaders who prioritize inclusion and unity.
