And it Happened Just as I Said

[IM2]

Trump ran his mouth about the NABJ convention starting late and in unison his cult members here repeated this. I happened to watch a news show by a black journalist who was there who said that was not the case. That journalist stated that things were delayed because Trumps punk --- didn't want to be fact checked. I repeated that comment here and as usual the trump cult told me how I was wrong. Well:

Scoop: Trump stalled Black journalists interview over fact-checking​

Moments before former President Trump took the stage at the National Association of Black Journalists annual convention in Chicago on Wednesday, the organization's president was called back to address an issue.
Why it matters: Trump did not want to be fact-checked live and was refusing to go on stage, NABJ president Ken Lemon told Axios.

• "[Trump's team] said, 'Well, can you not fact check? He's not going to take the stage if you fact-check,'" Lemon said.

The intrigue: The Q&A with the GOP presidential nominee was delayed more than an hour before he eventually joined a panel of Black journalists, including ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner and Semafor reporter Kadia Goba.

• At the time, President Trump blamed the delay on audio problems.
• Lemon told Axios, "There were audio problems, but they were resolved very quickly."
• "The bigger problem was his threat not to take the stage when he had agreed to go on. He did not want to be fact-checked, but we could not let him on the stage without fact-checking," Lemon said.

Behind the scenes: The stalemate was so prolonged that NABJ leaders were prepared to explain to the audience of nearly 2,000 people why Trump would not appear.

• "I was prepared to go on stage to craft a statement, saying he decided not to go on stage because of fact-checking... we couldn't compromise on that.
• As Lemon was preparing that statement, Trump walked onto the stage.

Hey, remember that time Don Lemon argued that Kamala is not African-American?

Not surprising from a white one who thinks it's black.

They used to be in mental institutions over stuff like that.

Some day soon.

True that. A big fat one on a 4-week old moldy bun with nothing but rancid mayonnaise, wilted lettuce, and no meat.
