What's most fascinating to me about the discourse around the #NABJ Trump interview is how many people think Scott's opening question was "hostile". It really reflects the reality of so many #BIPOC folks-- where literally just saying that someone has done something racist (especially in the workplace), even just repeating back their own racist words/ actions, (no matter *what* tone you use) gets you labeled "hostile" or "aggressive" or "angry". Saying the question was "hostile" speaks volumes.

@Sinegrave @kimberlyadams his other tact would have been to deny making the statements

@ezrasf That's true. His only tactic here was to insult the hosts, "call them out" for being untimely, insult their equipment, insults their line of questioning, call them rude and nasty, etc.

And all without ever really answering the question.

@Sinegrave Women journalists give him a complex. He goes on the attack if they don't fawn over him.

I want ask, "who was the journalist that hurt you?" But, he can't admit this Beta Male lashing out is weakness.

It reminded me of Kaitlin Collins during the town hall in this season's primary and Megyn Kelly in 2016. Definitely a pattern. One his campaign should obviously be prepared to handle better than this.
