GOP strategist Shermichael Singleton rips into Trump questioning Kamala Harris' ethnicity at the NABJ: "You need to be careful with this crap! That‘s just the only way to say this... I can't even say what I really want to say about this!"
#RachelScott is a star, held her own, and gave the best interrogation of #DonaldTrump I have ever seen. But it deeply hurt my heart and pride to see an outstanding Black women get so disrespected by a White Man on national TV #NABJ24
