Confrontation at RNC: Trump Jr. Dismisses Reporter
WASHINGTON, D.C. – During a recent exchange at the Republican National Committee (RNC) event, Donald Trump Jr. referred to a reporter as a “clown”.
He instructed him to leave after being questioned about past and potential future family separation policies at the border.
The reporter had asked if the administration would continue policies that allegedly separated over 5,000 children from their parents, ignoring the current situation at the border and the horrendous conditions families faced under former President Obama.
Trump Jr. responded by attributing the origin of such policies to the Obama administration, a claim the reporter contested. The interaction escalated when Trump Jr. criticized the reporter’s network, MSNBC, labeling them as “clowns” and accusing the reporter of propagating “lies and nonsense.”
