Trump campaign scrambles to blame Black journalists for Trump’s racism

0

Donald Trump’s campaign is desperately trying to clean up his latest mess after he bombed Wednesday while speaking to the National Association of Black Journalists Wednesday.

In a racist tirade, Trump accused Vice President Kamala Harris of playing cynical games with her heritage. 

“She was Indian all the way,” he said, “then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went—she became a Black person.”

The campaign knew it was a disaster before it was even over. What was supposed to be an hour-long question-and-answer session was abruptly cut short by Trump’s campaign after just 34 minutes—“an indication of how much of a train wreck it was for him,” tweeted Axios reporter Sophia Cai, “and also how good the questioning was.”

Trump came out of the event on defense.

“The questions were Rude and Nasty, often in the form of a statement, but we CRUSHED IT!” he posted on social media.
