If you've been reading Twitchy for any length of time, you know about Tariq Nasheed. He can usually be counted on for a racist take on the day's issues, but he's surprised us now and then. Back in 2019, he tweeted, "So why should we honestly support the Democrats?" President Donald Trump had at least talked about specific issues to help the black community.
As we reported, Trump walked into the lion's den Wednesday by appearing at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago and was immediately ambushed by ABC News' Rachel Scott: How dare he have the nerve to show up after all of the racist things he's said? Trump gave as good as he got, though.
April Ryan wondered why Trump had been allowed on that stage, and Karen Attiah concluded it was a huge mistake for the NABJ to give Trump a platform. Nasheed, surprisingly, thought Trump did really well.

But they sat up here and got COOKED by Trump today by trying to act like shills for the Democrats. If they would have been more objective, their grilling would not have backfired on them.

Trump COOKED them. Heh heh heh heh heh.
Lisa (@Rockprincess818 ) ~ It took balls to walk into that hive of pure hatred and malice.
Bruce Sylvester (@Sylvester4Bruce) ~ Black journalism does not accurately represent black people. They got roasted, and Trump had the guts to put himself in that arena. You’ll never see a democrat put themselves in a similar situation.
MAGS (@TAftermath2020) ~ Yep, they got bodied by Trump.
Profiles in Blight Supremacy (@Avis_Liberatum) ~ Does Harris not showing up in person send them a message, or does she just assume she has the NABJ's support locked up and that she can literally dial it in?
@HewettW (@HewettW) ~ What I saw was a lot of bigotry by blacks.
DiannaE (@Dianna_Erwin) ~ There’s nothing wrong with asking tough questions, but being rude, unfriendly & even disrespectful just wasn’t necessary. The ABC reporter instantly set the tone & ruined what could’ve been way more interesting. They’re always looking for a gotcha moment. Ugh—too bad.
Well, the intent of the NABJ was not dialogue - it was to ambush Trump and try to make him look bad.
