Roland Martin Rips NABJ For Inviting Trump To Their Convention
Roland Martin let the leadership at the National Association of Black Journalists have it for their decision to invite racist Donald Trump to come sit for an interview at their convention this Wednesday in Chicago. Roland isn't the only one angry about the invitation, and guess who they're letting moderate the debacle... Harris Faulkner.
Someone really screwed the pooch here:
The National Association of Black Journalists is trying its best to weather a storm of backlash.
The organization on Tuesday drew a torrent of criticism over its decision to invite Donald Trump to sit for an interview at its annual convention in Chicago. The Wednesday afternoon Trump event — moderated by ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott, Fox News host Harris Faulkner, and Semafor politics reporter Kadia Goba — has roiled the NABJ, with some of its most prominent members publicly expressing dismay.
Karen Attiah, The Washington Post columnist who worked as co-chair of this year’s conference, even announced Tuesday that she would resign from her role. While Attiah said a “variety of factors” influenced her decision, she specifically homed in on the Trump interview when making her abrupt announcement.
