COVID CASES WITH CHICAGO'S PUBLIC HEALTH COMMISSIONER.

FIRST OFF TONIGHT, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WAS IN CHICAGO TODAY FOR JUST THE SECOND TIME SINCE MASSIVE PROTESTS FORCED HIM TO SCRAP A RALLY IN 2016 AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO.

TRUMP HAS OFTEN CRITICIZE CHICAGO USING IT AS A PUNCHING BAG TO ATTACK DEMOCRATS.

TODAY HE SAT DOWN WITH 3 JOURNALISTS, ALL MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BLACK JOURNALISTS DURING ITS ANNUAL CONVENTION IN WHAT BECAME A COMBATIVE INTERVIEW, ONE THAT MANY MEMBERS VOICED THEIR DISAPPOINTMENT OVER.

WITH PROTESTERS OUTSIDE THE HILTON.

CHICAGO.

AND MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BLACK JOURNALISTS GROWING RESTLESS INSIDE THE Q AND A WITH FORMER PRESIDENT.

DONALD TRUMP BEGAN MORE THAN AN HOUR AFTER ITS SCHEDULED TIME.

ABC NEWS RACHEL SCOTT KICKING OFF THE QUESTIONS ATTACKED BLACK JOURNALISTS CALLING THEM A LOSER, SAYING THE QUESTIONS THAT THEY ASKED ARE, QUOTE, STUPID AND RACIST.

WE'VE HAD DINNER WITH A WHITE SUPREMACIST.

YOUR MAR-A-LAGO RESORT.

SO MY QUESTION, SIR, NOW THAT YOU'RE ASKING BLACK SUPPORTERS TO VOTE FOR YOU, WHY SHOULD BLACK VOTERS TRUST YOU AFTER YOU HAVE USE LANGUAGE LIKE THAT?

AND THE FORMER PRESIDENT SHOWING HIS ANGER YOU WITH ABC BECAUSE I THINK THEY'RE A FAKE NEWS NETWORK.

A TERRIBLE.

I THINK IT'S DISGRACEFUL THAT I CAME HERE IN GOOD I LOVE THE BLACK POPULATION OF THIS COUNTRY.

TRUMP'S HISTORY OF THAT KIND OF VITRIOL DIRECTED AT BLACK FEMALE JOURNALISTS IN PARTICULAR IS WHAT SET OFF A BACKLASH FROM MANY IN A B J MEMBERS WHEN THEY LEARNED HE BE AT THE CONVENTION.

I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN HOW IT TURNED OUT.

TRUMP MANIPULATED SITUATION CAME OUT VERY HOSTILE, LOT OF HOSTILE QUESTIONS LIVE, HOSTILE ACCUSATIONS TO DIVERT THE REPORTERS FROM DOING THEIR JOB.

AND YOU DID.

YOU DID YOU LEARN A LOT MORE THAN YOU ALREADY KNEW ABOUT DONALD TRUMP AND HOW HE FELT ABOUT AFRICAN-AMERICANS?

QUESTIONS SPANNED FROM INFLATION.

INFLATION IS A COUNTRY BUSTER.

IT BREAKS EVERY COUNTRY AND WE HAD, IN MY OPINION, THE WORST INFLATION WE'VE HAD.

THEY SAY IT'S 58 YEARS, BUT I THINK IT'S MUCH MORE THAN TO IMMIGRATION.

MANY OF THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING IN FROM MENTAL INSTITUTIONS, FROM PRISONS, FROM JAILS, A GANG MEMBERS IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

OTHER COUNTRIES ARE SETTING LOOSE THEIR PRISONERS.

THEY'RE OPENING UP THEIR PRISONS AND THEIR MENTAL INSTITUTIONS.

WHILE POLITIFACT POSTED LIVE FACT CHECKING ONLINE ON HIS LAST POINT ABOUT IMMIGRATION, POLITIFACT SAYS IT'S ALREADY RATED THIS CLAIM, QUOTE, PANTS ON FIRE, MEANING QUITE FALSE.

WHEN ASKED ABOUT WHETHER HIS OPPONENT, VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS IS A, QUOTE, DEI HIGHER.

HE QUESTIONED HER RACIAL IDENTITY.

SHE WAS ALWAYS OF INDIAN HERITAGE.

AND SHE ONLY PROMOTING INDIAN HERITAGE.

I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS BLACK.

UNTIL A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO WHEN SHE HAPPENED TO TURN BLACK AND NOW SHE WANTS TO KNOWN BLACK.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF SHE INDEED ARE SHIPPED LAST YEAR'S.

ALL THE DOESN'T.

POLITIFACT SAYS THAT CLAIM TO IS FALLS.

THAT WAS PROBABLY THE MOST REVEALING MOMENT OF THE EVENT.

I HAVEN'T HEARD HIM SAY THAT BEFORE.

IT'S A RIDICULOUS CHARGE.

I THINK HE'S TRYING TO APPLY THAT SHE'S AND BLACK ENOUGH BECAUSE HE FEELS THAT THAT WILL HURT HER WITH BLACK VOTERS.

AND TO BE CLEAR, LOWER WASHINGTON, WHO YOU JUST HEARD FROM THERE SAID THAT SHE DID SUPPORT TRUMP'S APPEARANCE INITIALLY AS IT'S SOMETHING THAT IN A B J HAD IN A B J HAS DONE IN THE PAST IN A BJ'S PRESIDENT.

KEN LEMON SAYS THE ORGANIZATION IS IN TALKS WITH THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN AS WELL TO ARRANGE A Q AND A WITH HER EITHER VIRTUALLY OR IN-PERSON IN SEPTEMBER.
