Tensions Flare as Trump Spars with Black Journalists, Claims Immigrants Are 'Taking Black Jobs'
Trump attended a Q&A session with the National Association of Black Journalists where tensions rose as he argued with reporters over questions about Kamala Harris' ethnicity and comments on immigration. Trump was over an hour late to the event and blamed issues with the audio equipment, and he characterized the introduction as "very rude." Trump made comments claiming he had done more for Black Americans than any president since Abraham Lincoln and was pressed on his claim that illegal immigrants were "taking Black jobs." Trump also falsely claimed that Kamala Harris had only ever promoted her Indian heritage despite being a longtime member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
