attended a Q&A with political journalists at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago on Wednesday, where, despite some internal opposition to Trump’s presence, NABJ President Ken Lemon promised those assembled “the opportunity ... to ask the tough questions” of the twice-impeached former president.ABC News’ senior congressional correspondent Rachel Scott, who served as a moderator, opened with a question addressing “the elephant in the room.

I love the Black population of this country. I’ve done so much for the Black population of this country.”“Today’s tirade is simply a taste of the chaos and division that has been a hallmark of Trump’s MAGA rallies this entire campaign,” Harris spokesperson Michael Tyler said in an emailed statement.
“That’s literally the words,” Scott said. “I just defined it, sir.” She then reminded Trump of her original question. When Faulkner asked Trump why he’d joined Wednesday’s event, referencing America’s racial divisions, Trump ran in an unexpected direction.“One of the big problems ― and a lot of the journalists in this room I know and I have great respect for ― a lot of the journalists in this room are Black,” Trump continued, prompting some laughter as people anticipated what he would say next.
