President Trump showed up at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention and he was immediately called a racist. Not even a welcome or howdy do. Watch the entire interview above.
ABC News host Rachel Scott literally accused the former president of being a racist and a white supremacist.
“A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today. You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama, saying that they were not born in the United States, which is not true. You have told four congresswoman of color who were American citizens to go back to where they came from. You have used words like ‘animal’ and ‘rabbit’ to describe Black attorneys. You’ve attacked Black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that they asked are, ‘stupid and racist,’” Scott said.
“You’ve had dinner with a White supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort. So, my question, sir, now that you were asking Black supporters to vote for you,” she continued. “Why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that?”
Trump shot back, “I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner, a first question. You don’t even say ‘hello, how are you.’ Are you with ABC? Because I think they’re a fake news network, a terrible network. I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the Black population of this country; I’ve done so much for the Black population of this country.”
Trump listed some of his accomplishments for the Black community before returning to his thoughts on the “very rude” introduction from Scott.
“I don’t know why you would do something like that… I was invited here, and I was told my opponent, whether it was Biden or Kamala, I was told my opponent was going to be here. It turned out, my opponent isn’t here. You invited me under false pretense,” Trump said.
“And then you were half an hour late, just so you understand, I have too much respect for you to be late. They couldn’t get their equipment working or something,” Trump continued as Scott interrupted.
“Mr. President, I would love if you could answer the question,” Scott said, again asking why Black voters should trust him for another term.
“I think it’s a very nasty question,” Trump shot back. “I have answered the question. I have been the best president for the Black population since Abraham Lincoln.”
It really was a disgraceful thing – and those journalists should be ashamed of their behavior. But Trump knew what was going to happen and he came loaded for bear.
They thought they were going to string up the president with his words – but Trump got the last laugh.
Watch how he handled a question about why he calls Kamala Harris a DEI hire.
“She was always of Indian heritage,” Trump says of Kamala Harris. “I didn’t know she was Black.”
Say what you want to about President Trump – but this man is a force of nature. He took a bullet to the head and went right back to work. He walked into a hostile room of radical propagandists – and went full-blown gangsta – as Madea would say – Trump told those reporters to put the shut to the up.
For the record – President Trump graciously accepted the invitation of the NABJ. Kamala Harris did not. He’s willing to go where other politicians refuse to go. He’s willing to go where many Republican candidates would have refused to go.
President Trump handled himself with dignity and class in the face of shrill, angry propagandists disguised as reporters. Balls of Steel, this man has.
One final note – I found it quite ironic that the National Association of Black Journalists was lecturing President Trump about diversity. How many white folks they got in their group?
