Dr. Ben Carson offered praise to former President Trump for appearing at a NABJ event Wednesday in Chicago, arguing Trump stepped into a «hostile environment.»
Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson praised former President Trump for appearing before a «hostile» National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention in Chicago.
«I commend my friend @realdonaldtrump for going into a hostile environment at @NABJ today and answering tough questions», Carson said in a post on X Wednesday.
Carson’s comments came shortly Trump’s appearance at the event, where he clashed with ABC News reporter Rachel Scott over what he called a «nasty question.»
«A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today. You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama, saying that they were not born in the United States, which is not true. You have told four congresswomen of color who were American citizens to go back to where they came from. You have used words like ‘animal’ and ‘rabbit’ to describe Black attorneys. You’ve attacked Black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that they asked are ‘stupid and racist'», Scott said during a Q&A panel that included Semafor reporter Kadia Goba and Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner.
