Former President Donald Trump's campaign has launched a scathing attack on members of the media in response to his controversial Q&A session at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago. The campaign sought to portray Trump's appearance as an effort to 'unite the entire country.'
Senior advisor Lynne Patton, representing the Trump campaign, stated that Trump's participation at the convention was a demonstration of his commitment to national unity. Patton accused journalists who questioned Trump during the panel of promoting division and criticized their behavior as 'unhinged and unprofessional.'
During the event, Trump made several contentious remarks, including false claims about his record and a misleading comment about Vice President Kamala Harris. The audience, predominantly composed of NABJ members, expressed audible disapproval and skepticism throughout the panel.
Patton insinuated that media attendees at the conference exhibited bias against Trump and suggested a deliberate effort to undermine his message of unity. She emphasized Trump's resilience in the face of perceived media bias and reiterated his dedication to improving the lives of all Americans, regardless of opposition.
The campaign's statement reaffirmed Trump's longstanding criticism of the media, a central theme in his political rhetoric dating back to his initial presidential campaign in 2016.
