MSNBC ran the video on their segment in the midst of Trump’s relentless nasty, racist, sexist, bigoted attacks against Kamala Harris, who just recently dropped like a bomb into the 2024 presidential race and has been blowing the scandal-plagued and felony-convicted Republican out of the water since day one.
In the clip, hailing from 1993, then-real estate “mogul” Donald Trump can be seen battling former Rep. George Miller (D-CA) over Native American casinos that Trump apparently felt would harm his own casino business ventures.
Miller presses Trump in the exchange, “Is this you, discussing Indian blood: ‘We’re going to judge people by whether they have Indian blood whether they’re qualified to run a casino or not?’”
“That probably is me, absolutely,” Trump is seen firing back in response. “Because, I’ll tell you what. If you look at some of the reservations that you’ve approved, that you, sir in your great wisdom have approved, I’ll tell you right now, they don’t look like Indians to me.”

“And they don’t look like the Indians,” Trump goes on to rant. “Now, maybe we say politically correct or not politically correct, they don’t look like Indians to me, and they don’t look like Indians to Indians. A lot of people are laughing at it. You’re telling how tough it is, rough it is, to get approved, When you go up to Connecticut, they don’t look like Indians to me, sir.”
This prompted Miller to give the man who would go on to be POTUS one hell of a lecture: “Thank God that’s not the test of whether or not people have rights in this country or not – whether or not they pass your ‘look’ test.”
As the clip came to a close, MSNBC’s Ana Cabrera noted, “Congressman George Miller of California, who confronted Trump in that 1993 clip, said that was the most irresponsible testimony he had heard in his 40 years in Congress.”
