President Donald Trump dropped the hammer on a rude “fake news network” reporter during an interview in front of a live audience.
Trump sat down for an interview with ABC’s Rachel Scott at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago.
He had traveled to the deep blue city on Wednesday to deliver remarks at the event.
However, without introducing the 45th president to the audience, Scott unloaded on Trump with a long-winded question filled with false claims.
The reporter began by accusing Trump of lying and attacking the black community.
Trump sat patiently as Scott reeled off multiple false claims while accusing him of being a liar and a racist.
As she continued, Trump sat quietly without interrupting until she finished.
The mostly-black crowd then went wild as Trump unleashed on Scott in response.
“Well, first of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner,” Trump said as the crowd erupted.
“You don’t even say, ‘Hello. How are you?’
“Are you with ABC?” he asked Scott.
“Because I think they are a fake news network.
“A terrible network.”
Trump continued:
“I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit.
“I love the Black population of this country.”
Trump went on to tout his accomplishments: “I’ve done so much for the black population of this country, including employment, including opportunities….”
President Trump blasted the host again:
“That was such a rude introduction.
“I don’t know why you would do something like that.”
