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.
@kimberlyadams The fact that he felt entitled to tone-police her in the first place is itself racist and/or misogynist. His stance of being among inferiors who dare question him directly is the thing that is offensive. #uspol
@kimberlyadams The questions were great. Trump's insulting, cowardly, offensive, evasive reply is just what I expected from a wimpy loser. He can barely deal with softball questions from journalists who (gag) admire him. He and truth are oil and water. Not only did Scott start with an absolutely on-target legit. question, but she chose not to kiss his holy ring as a warmup. I'm surprised he didn't swell up and burst. The weird toddler didn't cope very well.
@kimberlyadams I thought her question was perfect. I just wish in the follow-up she didn't answer his request for her to define DEI with "You wrote it. What does DEI mean to you?"
@kimberlyadams
He's insane...
Did everyone catch what he did to her water bottle?
There will be a true civil war if they somehow manage to put him in...
@Pagan_Animist
See if you can Google it.
You need to watch it.
He waited until she turned then he grabbed her personal water bottle and tightened the cap forcefully...
His water was next to him on a whole different table.
He is mentally ill.
@LinuxAndYarn @kimberlyadams That’s what I hoped would be the follow-up to a couple of his questions. “You’re the guy that wants to be President. We want to know what YOU think it means!”
