Why doesn't this surprise me?
Black media was banned from Trumps Young Black Leadership Summit: report
Jason Johnson, political consultant and Politics Editor for the online news site The Root, said that despite the optics of Trumps Young Black Leadership Summit, no black press was allowed into the event. He also had harsh words for the self-loathing audience.
This is a testament to sort of overall authoritarianism and violence this president encourages. They blocked all black press from being able to come to the event, Johnson said. We were initially given passes to go to this event and then they took them back because they didnt want anyone there who might possibly see the kind of violence this president was encouraging.
Johnson added that it was disgusting to see the president play the victim after nearly a dozen of his political opponents had been attacked by mail bombs. But he saved his true vitriol for for Trumps eager audience of young black Republicans, who chanted USA and CNN sucks during the East Room event.
He is encouraging a generation of incredibly foolish young people, Johnson said, referring to the lost, disturbed, self-loathing audience. This isnt about Republicans or Democrats. This is about the Trump personality cult.
