Rachel Scott’s piercing interview at National Association of Black Journalists event left former president fuming

ABC News’s senior congressional correspondent Rachel Scott has reportedly faced threats to her life after her piercing interview of Donald Trump at the National Association of Black Journalists convention left the former president fuming.

The NABJ’s executive director told members at a meeting on Saturday that “Scott had received death threats following her work asking incisive questions of … Trump at the group’s national convention” three days earlier, Eric Deggans of National Public Radio wrote in an X post published Saturday.

…

Scott asked Trump on Wednesday, “Why should Black voters trust you?” given his history of inflammatory comments about Black people. Among other questions, she also quizzed him about whether he believed Vice-President Kamala Harris had risen to the top of the Democratic ticket for November’s White House election solely “because she is a Black woman”.

    thank you my point exactly

    case in point is the mail why wouldn’t a mail carrier be votable to congress or senate or president or any government position

    not only would the expertise come in to play but people would finally see something like participating in government a reality like running for offices for themselves or just voting

    would break the traditional rule of the US and shatter the elites’ power
