Trump Torches ABC News’ Rachel Scott For ‘Very Rude Introduction’ After Asking ‘Very Nasty Question’

Former President Donald Trump slammed left-wing journalist Rachel Scott during an interview at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Conference on Wednesday for introducing Trump by asking him an extremely hostile question at the start of the event.

Scott opened the event by highlighting negative things that Trump has said about black people throughout the years, completely removing the context from the remarks that Trump made in the past and suggesting that Trump made the remarks because those whom he was criticizing were black.

“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 the question in such a horrible manner, a first question,” Trump responded. “You don’t even say, ‘Hello, how are you?’ Are you with ABC? Because I think they’re a fake news network, a terrible network. And I think it’s disgraceful, I came here in good spirit.”

Trump highlighted the things that he has done for the black community, including creating opportunity zones with Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and providing funding to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

“I think it’s a very rude introduction,” he added. “I don’t know exactly [why] you would do something like that. And let me go a step further. I was invited here and I was told my opponent, whether it was Biden or Kamala, I was told my opponent was going to be here. It turned out my opponent isn’t here. You invited me under false pretense and then you said you can’t do it with Zoom. Well, where’s Zoom? She’s going to do it with Zoom and she’s not coming. And then you were half an hour late. Just so we understand, I have too much respect for you [points to the audience] to be late.”

Trump said that he thought Scott’s question was “a very nasty question” and that she was a “disgrace” for beginning the event in such a “hostile manner.”
