Trump claims he spoke to the conference ‘out of respect to the Black community’

Donald Trump said he would “fire” the ABC News journalist who grilled him about his past comments  during a panel at the National Association of Black Journalists convention on July 31.

During his appearance on Adin Ross’s livestream on Kick on Monday, Trump was asked for his reaction to the event, which his campaign appeared to cut short by 30 minutes when it was clear that he led the session off the rails.

“This woman starts talking … about racism, and I said, ‘You didn’t even say hello to me,’ and I’m doing them a favor by doing this,” Trump told Ross on Monday. “I’m doing this out of respect to the Black community.”

    The challenge I was referring to was her trying to interrupt him by asking, “more than Lyndon Johnson who signed the civil rights act?”

    I think we’re just going to disagree on this one. I’m not really sure why you feel the need to attack the journalists’ integrities when I thought they did great considering who they were interviewing.

      If journalists had any integrity they would all band together and ask that same question first until he answers it without deflecting.

      If he never had a chance to be interviewed by anyone ever again without being asked the same questions over and over again either he would answer clearly or not have any media coverage.
