(Townhall) Former President Donald Trump returned to his vintage, hilarious persona, attending the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago, which triggered members of this organization. Karen Attiah, an editor and columnist for The Washington Post and co-chair of the NABJ convention, resigned in protest. It got off to a rocky start, but the question was ridiculous, one of many hurled at the former president by ABC News’ Rachel Scott.
There was a bit of fake news before this event, where people were saying that Trump was holding up the event, which started an hour late, due to not wanting to be fact-checked live; the truth was there was difficulty in setting up the audio equipment.
Scott asked about the attack on Harris, referring specifically to the DEI hire narrative. It was an outrageous question that didn’t faze the former president, who knew exactly what would be thrown at him. First, while I don’t like the attack either since I think it animates liberals, I wish someone would repeat Biden’s words from 2020, where he admits he picked Kamala because she was black. Trump also faced questions about his attack on black district attorneys who have led our cities to become crime-ridden hellholes.
OFF THE RAILS!
TRUMP: “I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner, first question. You don’t even say ‘Hello, how are you.’ Are you with ABC? Because I think they are a fake news network, a terrible network.” pic.twitter.com/9Prmozw2fE

ABC’s Rachel Scott opens her interview with President Trump at the NABJ conference by calling him a racist for criticizing black politicians and journalists.

I take it back. After that spat with the black reporter (that Harris will seize on), the rest of this is pretty good. He’s getting his points across without much effort.

I don’t care if this helps or hurts him. It’s hilarious, and I’m here for it. https://t.co/CUBYLWWoeZ

It was a little speedbump at the start, but the former president did well conveying his points for the rest of the event, where Kamala Harris didn’t even show up. One of the best lines was Trump saying that Harris was Indian and then became black, which drew laughter from the audience. Laughing at Trump or with him—who cares; it was hilarious. A nice undershot at a woman with a penchant for saying anything to get elected, who has no principles, core, or the experience to occupy the highest office in the land.
