MUST WATCH: Listen to Crowd Gasp as Trump Blasts ‘Fake News’ Reporter: ‘Very Rude’
By ABC 3340. Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday engaged in a fiery exchange with a reporter while taking questions at an event hosted by the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ).
The group announced Tuesday Trump would participate in a Q&A session with several of its journalists. In its announcement, the NABJ acknowledged Vice President Kamala Harris “was also invited to participate in this year’s convention; her confirmation is pending.”
This acknowledgement, however, did little to quell apparent outrage among members and anti-Trump onlookers. Acknowledging Trump’s invite, Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah announced via X she would step down as co-chair for the group’s 2024 convention in Chicago.
At the event, ABC News reporter Rachel Scott opened by “addressing the elephant in the room” and asked why Black voters should support Trump. She bolstered the question by accusing him of frequently using racist rhetoric while addressing politicians and journalists of color.
“First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner,” Trump said to laughter and murmurs from the crowd. “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.”

‘Disgraceful’: Listen to Crowd Gasp as Trump Scolds Reporter for ‘Hostile’ Attack
By WND. A crowd at the conference for the National Association of Black Journalists on Wednesday gasped, and there even were cheers, when President Donald Trump scolded a rude reporter who attacked him with list of loaded statements. . .
Why should, ABC’s Rachel Scott demanded, blacks trust Trump after he allegedly made “false” claims about rivals, used negative descriptors for liberal prosecutors and said black journalists were asking stupid and racist questions.
Trump, who sat listening quietly during the attack, responded: “Well, first of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question so … in such a horrible manner.”
There was a collective gasp, interspersed with guffaws and laughter, from the crowd.
He continued, “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.” (Read more from “‘Disgraceful’: Listen to Crowd Gasp as Trump Scolds Reporter for ‘Hostile’ Attack” HERE)
