During a recent event at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, former President Donald Trump engaged in a heated Q&A session where he criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for not attending in person. Trump referred to Harris as a 'coward' for her absence, contrasting it with his own willingness to face tough questions.
However, NABJ president Ken Lemon clarified that Harris had offered to participate virtually due to scheduling conflicts, rather than avoiding scrutiny. The organization is currently coordinating a future event for Harris to engage with the group, either virtually or in person, in September.
Trump expressed disappointment at not having the opportunity to debate with his supposed opponent, claiming he was misled about Harris's attendance. He stated, 'You invited me under false pretenses,' indicating his frustration with the situation.
The contrasting approaches of Trump and Harris towards engaging with the NABJ highlight differing strategies in addressing media and public inquiries. While Trump emphasized his willingness to face challenging questions, Harris opted for a virtual format to accommodate her schedule.
