@Nonilex A few tough questions from anyone of any gender or race would suffice. Kudos to the journalists at the event who finally took their jobs seriously.

American journalists usually either pitch him softballs, or ask a question once and change the subject if he deflects it, and they don't usually follow up if he lies.

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 ABC News. Her first question was tough, factual and fair — a model of accountability journalism — and deserves to be repeated: [see attached photo]

@Nonilex
Also, note that, while at Harvard, she pledged Alpha Kappa Alpha, the nation's oldest black sorority. I don’t think Trump has the right to determine who can be considered African-American. Her sorority sisters do. And I trust their judgement. And as Trump's racist supporters can throw their weight behind Trump, I trust their judgement to say that Trump is racist.

@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

@WendyMsGator @Nonilex I heard her thanking him for accepting the invite.

@Ralph058 @WendyMsGator

Yup. And there’s proof.

@Ralph058 @WendyMsGator @Nonilex Yep.

@Nonilex @Ralph058 @WendyMsGator Her body language😊 I would be afraid too.

@Mallulady @Nonilex @Ralph058 @WendyMsGator Agree. She looks like she's planning to aim that folder straight at his nuts, if he has any.
