BREAKING NEWSDonald Trump says he ‘didn’t know’ Karmala Harris was black as his interview with black journalists association gets off to contentious start

Donald Trump’s interview with a black journalists’ association got off to a tense and fiery start after he tore into his first questioner and said he ‘didn’t know’ if Vice President Kamala Harris is black.

Things got off to a rocky start at the first question after the former president got asked about some of his past comments attacking black journalists and dining with a white supremacist at Mar-a-Lago.

After tearing into his first questioner, Trump took on Harris, who is of mixed heritage.

‘I didn’t know she was black,’ Trump said. ‘I don’t know is she Indian or is she black.’

Right out of the gate, Trump went after his first questioner after she asked him a multi-part question that brought up several of his comments attacking African American journalists and Fulton County DA Fani Willis. 

Scott said a lot of people didn’t think it was appropriate for him to be in Chicago for the interview, bringing up remarks calling a black journalist a ‘loser,’ tearing into an African American congresswoman, and alluding to his meeting with white nationalist Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago.  

‘First of all I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner,’ Trump told ABC’s Rachel Scott, who asked the first question.

‘You don’t even say hello how are you?’ Trump lectured, calling ABC a fake news network.

‘I came here in good spirit. I love the black population of this country,’ he said.

‘I think it’s a very rude introduction. I don’t know exactly why you would do something like that,’ he said.

Then Trump complained about the faulty equipment for the interview, and blaming the NASB for holding him up for an interview that started more than 30 minutes behind schedule.

‘I was told my opponent was going to be here. You invited me under false pretense. And then you said you can’t do it with zoom,’ he said, after the group announced that it was negotiating with Harris to do a zoom interview next month. 

‘I have been the best president for the black population since Abraham Lincoln,’ Trump said. He called the initial questions ‘hostile’ and a ‘disgrace.’

Trump kept coming back to complaints about the AV equipment, saying the ‘mics are really in lousy shape.’
