Former President Donald Trump's interview on Wednesday at the National Association of Black Journalists annual convention in Chicago kicked off with a contentious start as he falsely questioned Vice President Kamala Harris' race.
Throughout the appearance, Trump went on to say his vice presidential pick "does not have any impact" on the election said said he would pardon Jan. 6 rioters who assaulted police officers "if they're innocent."
ABC News Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner and Semafor political reporter Kadia Goba interviewed Trump on stage at the event.
The first question came from ABC's Scott, who asked about Trump's past inflammatory rhetoric toward women of color.
"I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir. A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today," Scott said. "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 congressmen, women 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 district attorneys. You've attacked Black journalists, calling them a 'loser,' saying the questions that they ask are, 'stupid and racist.' You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mar a Lago resort."
"So, my question, sir, now that you are asking Black supporters to vote for you, why should Black voters trust you after you have used language like that?" Scott asked.
"Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question. So, in such a horrible manner, a first question. You don't even say hello. Who are you? Are you with ABC? Because I think they're a fake news network. A terrible network," Trump began.

Watched just a little bit of the rally. Not much diversity with the people selected to sit behind him. No poc I can discern.

You have to pretty dumb to not understand how Harris could have been the first Indian American senator but not the first African America senator. Or even the first African American female senator. (The latter being easily known by people from Chicago.)

Maga thinks this is a gotcha. It's been all over the bird site.

WaPo comment:
AngryStaffer said word is tfg has been fuming about Vance. Heh.The local news in Harrisburg is reporting that the crowd booed when Vance’s name was mentioned at today’s Trump rally. The MAGAs know they have a dud and both Trump and Vance are rattled.

And she turned down a call from Biden.Trump on Corey Comperatore's widow: "Corey's wife said, 'I'd rather have my husband.' Isn't that good? I know a lot of wives that would not say that, I'm sorry."

At best Trump is only half American.
Trump's mother, Mary Trump, was from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. She was raised in a Gaelic-speaking household. Her real name was Màiri Anna Nic Leòid.
English was her second language. She learned it as a foreign language at school.
So, is Trump in fact a British subject? Has he ever produced his mother's naturalization documents?
What is he hiding?

Vlad promised him that he wait for him to be president so he could get the credit and reneged on that deal.
He's depressed and terrified about what that means.

And Trump has said that he hates getting laughed at. Calling him and his fans weird is both laughing at them and belittling them. That definitely has to get under his skin.
