Current Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump is set to be in Chicago on Wednesday, and says he will attend the National Association of Black Journalists Annual Convention & Career Fair.
The decision to host Trump has not gone over well with some NABJ members. The decision even led the co-chair for the convention, Karen Attiah, to step down.
"To the journalists interviewing Trump, I wish them the best of luck," Attiah wrote. "For everyone else, I'm looking forward to meeting and reconnecting with all of you in the Windy City."
On Tuesday night — a night after the announcement that Trump would be appearing — NABJ President Ken Lemon reiterated that the invitation to Trump was not an endorsement, and was something extended to both Trump and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris has offered to address NABJ members virtually after the convention. Event organizers say they are still working to reach an agreement.

    I started watching car crash videos and ended up here. The algorithms are definitely getting smarter at metaphorical associations.
  • @TheSmPH
    Trump explains how he's gonna fight inflation : - Says what inflation does - Says it's bad. - Blames others No specifics, no plan.
  • @KDoc1951
    Trump's hand gestures is like playing 'air accordion'.
  • The Republicans and Trump made fun of Biden and demanded he steps down. Now that he did they and Trump complain...
  • @thatdarnsatan
    "If they're innocent, I would pardon them." "They've been convicted."
  • I really wish they pressed him more vigorously to explain what “black” jobs are and how he thinks that people “invading” us from “jails” and “mental institutions” are taking them away from black people. Those statements seem like irresistible invitations from Trump for journalists to get at the core of what he really thinks about black people, and specifically about their level of intelligence and compassion. I get the sense Rachel Scott would’ve been the one to go there with him …but man, she must have been still reeling from the shock at the bombastic, self-pitying tirade he launched at her.
  • @mehoo8
    The way he says “black” tickles me lmaooo. It’s like “bih-lac” 😭
  • @mikeem848
    Anyone ever notice he does the same gesture with his hands over and over? Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth....
  • @kcsmlyngs4975
    Lady in the blue looked stressed as hell before trump made the stage😂
  • His answers are literally what you'd write if you were writing a parody of him.
  • @NWPAPeace
    He was a white man then all of the sudden he turned orange
  • How could someone be amazed that there were black journalists at NABJ?
  • Anyone notice that he IS capable of pronouncing Kamala's name. At about 8 minutes. It is a deliberate racist choice.
  • @jamesm28
    I find it disheartening how many folks are unable to see through this guy
  • Notice he didn’t deny having invited an Anti-Semite for dinner at Mar-A-Lago.
