CHICAGO – Former President Donald Trump served it up Wednesday. On the menu: open bullying, verbal assaults, racist tropes, misogyny, disrespect and outright lies.
This time, though, the audience was a room full of mostly Black journalists.
Members of the National Association of Black Journalists, attending their annual convention in Chicago, got all of it – right to the face.
It was a stunning spectacle if you didn’t know what to expect. Unfortunately, we knew.
That he even agreed to attend a convention for journalists is a clear indication he’s on a quest for more Black votes. After all, this was a convention full of the people who cover Black America. Perhaps a campaign guru considered this forum a good idea.
It turned really bad, really fast.
What happened on Wednesday happened right to our faces. It would have been stunning, if we didn’t know what to expect.
But we knew.
