#Trump said, “And let me go a step further. I was invited here & I was told my opponent whether it was #Biden or Kamala*, I was told my opponent was going to be here. It turned out my opponent isn’t here. You invited me under false pretenses.”

[note the disrespect of referring to her by her first personal name]

Trump later repeatedly claimed that #RachelScott asked “nasty” questions.

That was a hell of a thing.

I now adore #RachelScott of #ABC even more.

This is how every #Trump interview & debate should be conducted.

After he took his seat, #ABCNews’ Rachel Scott asked, “I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir. A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today.”

She cited numerous false claims Trump made about #Obama & #NikkiHaley, along w/other remarks attacking Black figures & people of color.

#RachelScott added, “You attack #Black #journalists calling them ‘losers,’ saying the questions that they asked are quote, ‘ #stupid & #racist.’ You’ve had dinner w/a #WhiteSupremacist at Mar a Lago resort. So my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you, after you have used language like that?”

"You are going to see your candidate subjected to the most blistering, vile & specious personal attacks based on her #race & #gender. The effort, to be sure, is aimed at villainizing her with those who are undecided. But it’s also intended to tear her down in your eyes; to distract & demoralize you; to dampen the high spirits that are driving you toward the one goal that is above all this presidential #election year — winning — which depends on #voting"

"To call a #Black woman a “Jezebel” hearkens back to America’s #racist & #misogynistic #history of casting Black women as insatiably sexual, which served to justify slaveholding men’s systematic sexual #assault of enslaved #women. But for right-wing white #Christians... to say a woman has a “Jezebel spirit” is also to say she is a danger to them, a barely human being hell-bent on seducing men to their destruction"
