A former senior Biden 2020 campaign adviser said Wednesday that former President Donald Trump is “afraid to confront a black woman” with “facts” after her appearance at a National Association of Black Journalists event (NABJ).
Alencia Johnson appeared on CNN's “The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer” alongside a panel to discuss Trump's Q&A at the NABJ on Wednesday with Fox News' Harris Faulkner, Semafor's Kadia Goba and ABC News' Rachel Scott . During the event, Trump called out Scott after recounting alleged examples of racism by the former president, claiming his question was a “disgrace.”
“But listen, I was so disgusted by this whole interview, the show today. I had to call out Rachel Scott at ABC News, who stood her ground and asked the tough questions,” Johnson continued. “That's why there were so many black journalists frustrated with the decision to come because of his lack of respect for a lot of black journalists, including one from this network, Abby Phillip, right?”
Johnson went on to say that Trump talked about Scott and was “combative” with her, noting that it made her realize why the former president is “so afraid” to debate Harris.
I WILL SEE:
“For him to talk about her, be combative — he actually showed me the reason he's so afraid to debate Vice President Kamala Harris is because she's going to be very clear, like Rachel was, laying the facts on him, pushing him. where he gets really tired and starts hurling insults,” Johnson said.
“So he's actually afraid to face a black woman who has all the facts and can challenge him on all of his extremely damaging positions. So I think it was more than bad timing for him.” Johnson continued. “I think it was a horrible time for him. Especially because he wants to continue to act like he's been a great president for black America when he's done nothing but promote even more harm to our community.”
Harris suggested Tuesday that Trump was afraid to debate her and challenged the former president to a showdown on the debate stage. Trump has it he stated on numerous occasions that the vice president is willing to debate.
Since Harris became the party's presumptive nominee, Trump has called out ABC News, which was previously scheduled to host the second debate between President Joe Biden and the former president on Sept. 10. In a post on Truth Social, the former president chose to have the event hosted by Fox News.
In addition, in a recent interview With Fox News' Laura Ingraham, Trump told the host how he would welcome a debate, but wanted the event to begin before “the votes start coming in.”
