National Association of Black Journalists rips into Trump for treatment of black women reporters

The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) released a statement Friday saying it was "appalled" by President Trump's "continued disrespect" of African-American women journalists.

Headlined "NABJ appalled by President Trump's continued disrespect of African-American women journalists and journalists in general," the statement called out the president over his recent comments to several female journalists. The organization specifically referred to an incident on Friday when the president called a question from CNN White House reporter Abby Phillip "stupid."

The NABJ also slammed the President for "dismissive" comments made against journalists April Ryan, who works for American Urban Radio Networks, and Yamiche Alcindor who is part of "PBS Newshour." Trump went after Ryan Friday as a "loser" who "doesn't know what the hell she is doing."
"The most powerful man in the free world is verbally abusing journalists," said NABJ President Sarah Glover in the statement.

"The past two years have been filled with assaults on the media and Donald Trump's comments this week have reached an all-time low with attacks on three black female journalists. His dismissive comments toward journalists April Ryan, Abby Phillip and Yamiche Alcindor are appalling, irresponsible, and should be denounced."

and NOT cover anything trmpie says/does. It would drive him straight up the wall.

This abusive behavior he directs towards women of color (April Ryan, Abby Phillip, Yamiche Alcindor, Maxine Waters, Fredericka Wilson, Meisha LaDavid, Michelle Obama) really does reveal everything we need to know about his content of his character -- he has none.

What a small pathetic creature he is.

I think he is actually showing his fear: He lost the House. His son is about to be indicted He's going to be a lame, limp duck for the next two years, knowing that the Dems have every intention of using the subpoena the mid-terms have just granted them. He is dead in the water and he knows it.
