This Is What Happens When #BlackWomen Challenge #Trump

by Mara Gay

One reason Donald Trump may be afraid to debate #KamalaHarris is that apparently all it takes to knock him off his game is a few tough questions from a #Black #woman.

This is exactly what happened in #Trump’s 35-min interview w/ 3 #women #journalists at the #NABJ convention in Chicago on Wed. Clearly rattled by the audacity of #BlackWomen tossing him sharp questions, Trump let his facade crumble & slipped into the #racist, #misogynistic tropes of his native tongue.

“I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” #Trump said of VP #Harris, who is #Black & #Indian American. “I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t. Because she was Indian all the way & then all of a sudden she made a turn & she went, she became a Black person. I think somebody should look into that.” This is false. Harris has always embraced her Blackness & even attended #HowardUniversity, a historically Black school [#HBCU].

The #journalists at the event did the country a service. Much of that work was done by #RachelScott of #ABCNews. Her first question was tough, factual & fair — a model of accountability #journalism — & deserves to be repeated: [see attached photo]

@Nonilex

And for that genuine question, she was called "nasty" and vilified for not saying "hello" to him.

@WendyMsGator @Nonilex She did say hello to him and shook his hand.
To him, if it isn't on mic, it doesn't #UnmitigatedCaucasity

Yup. And there’s proof.

Everyone is talking about T****'s #racism during his #NABJ interview, but I think not enough attention is being paid to his #misogyny.

Yes, he was #racist while talking to a black female reporter, but T**** has a history of losing his cool when asked "difficult" questions by a #WOMAN.

We remember his #BloodComingOutOfHerWherever reaction to #MegynKelly questioning his #misogynistic attacks in 2016, but he also walked out on #LesleyStahl during his 2020 #60Minutes interview.

@MugsysRapSheet @isotope239 @Nonilex While I completely agree, that wasn’t a particularly surprising question and one he certainly should have prepped for. If such a basic thing makes him melt down, imagine what’s gonna happen to him on a debate stage with Harris?

We saw him stalk #Hillary across the stage, though this #debate would be a different format that wouldn't allow for that.

He "personally" attacked Rachel Scott at #NABJ, and came ever-so-close to calling her a #NastyWoman. #misogyny #Misogynist #MisogynistInChief
