ABC News’s senior congressional correspondent Rachel Scott has reportedly faced threats to her life after her piercing interview of Donald Trump at the National Association of Black Journalists convention left the former president fuming.

The NABJ’s executive director told members at a meeting on Saturday that “Scott had received death threats following her work asking incisive questions of … Trump at the group’s national convention” three days earlier, Eric Deggans of National Public Radio wrote in an X post published Saturday.

Scott asked Trump on Wednesday, “Why should Black voters trust you?” given his history of inflammatory comments about Black people. Among other questions, she also quizzed him about whether he believed Vice-President Kamala Harris had risen to the top of the Democratic ticket for November’s White House election solely “because she is a Black woman”.

    US politics is toxic because it is divisive

    two parties have hijacked our elections and created football politics that pit one side against the other

    should be different voices with multiple different representators in government just like the voters if all were allowed to vote

          That is 100% untrue, considering one party’s destination is fascism.

            what do you call it when both parties are for locking up kids at the border just for one example

            or what do call it when both parties support over funding the police without more regulations and oversight

            there are numerous examples
