WATCH: Trump snaps at Black reporters calling them 'you people' during Rose Garden press conference

Published 2 hours ago on March 29, 2020
By Sarah K. Burris

President Donald Trump snapped at two Black reporters asking questions about his past statements on the coronavirus timeline.

During a Sunday press conference in the Rose Garden, Trump attacked Bloomberg and PBS reporters for their questions. In the case of the PBS reporter, who Trump has attacked multiple times, he referred to her and her Bloomberg colleague as “you people.”

Yamiche Alcindor asked the president about his earlier accusations that masks were “going out the back door” and said that it was “worst than hoarding.” She specifically cited his comments on Sean Hannity where he attacked blue-state governors, saying that if they’re not nice to them he won’t return their calls.

“That’s why you used to work for the Times and now you work for somebody else,” Trump attacked Alcindor for asking the question.

It's his racist, bigoted, evil nature. Calling Yamiche Alcindor the N-word is bound to happen.

I hate that mans guts but sounds like more clickbait from Raw Story....

DEVELOPING HARD...........

But yes, he dodged the question and sounded like an idiot. I followed a live presser thread in another forum with mixed Trump diehards and Trump cynics and even the diehards were shaking their heads,wondering what the hell he was on about. They all heard him say this shit on Hannity.

They are all interchangeable to the christofascists.

Obama was a radical black christian, a muslim and godless socialist all at the same time if you will remember.

it and it was bad that he went to such a person's church; yet he was a Muslim. That made me laugh. Almost as good as those who claim immigrants come to take their jobs and also come to collect welfare.

...which is why credentialing authority for WH press must be returned to the White House Correspondents Association, where it was originally.

Reporters covering Congress have their access codified in Senate rules. Reporters covering the WH have no such protection,, and this WH has exploited the power, allowing credentials to shills and stooges and even White Nationalist sympathizers, while using it to punish certain reporters.
