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”.

I can just imagine the spittle flying from the full lipped, meaty jowled, flushed faces of his most rabid white boy supporters as they scream in their shrill voices that a woman has no place questioning their president.

Is death threats even special anymore?

I made a reddit post pointing out an “advocacy group’s” fraudulent actions and the director of said group sent me multiple death threats and fake legal letters lol
