Trump's appearance before Black journalists leads to memorable confrontation with ABC's Rachel Scott
Scoop USA Newspaper
|August 02, 2024
Primarily due to sharp questioning by ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott, former President Donald Trump's appearance before a gathering of Black journalists turned remarkably contentious on Wednesday.
Scott pressed Trump on past statements about Black leaders, his support of Jan. 6, 2021, rioters, and diversity hiring leading the former president to repeatedly complain about how he was treated.
"She was very rude," the former president said, pointing at Scott.
Trump's appearance at a meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists was dripping with bad vibes from the start. Some members objected to the Republican candidate for president's invitation to address the group in the first place, while others said it was their obligation as journalists to question him.
The onstage panel with Trump questioned by Scott, Fox News Channel's Harris Faulkner, and Semafor's Kadia Goba was delayed for more than a half hour due to technical issues.
