Abby Phillip on Trump's NABJ meeting

BLACK FOLKS TO HIS TO HIS CAMPAIGN TO VOTE FOR HIM. I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TODAY. >> ABBY AS SARA JUST NOTED, TRUMP MADE THIS BIZARRE CLAIM, THAT KAMALA HARRIS, QUOTE, HAPPENED TO TURN BLACK. SHE'S OBVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED AS BLACK. YES. HER MOM IS INDIA AND IN HER FATHER JAMAICAN, BUT SHE'S OBVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED AS BLACK FOR HER HER WHOLE LIFE. YOU WENT TO HOWARD FOR GOD'S SAKE THAT'S NOT REALLY OUTREACH TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY I MEAN, IT'S REALLY NOT. AND I THINK THAT ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT THIS DECISION OF TRUMP'S TO COME TO NAB JAY. IT'S BASED ON THIS PREMISE THAT HE IS MAKING INROADS WITH BLACK VOTERS, PARTICULARLY BLACK MEN BUT WHEN THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD, I THINK THAT THE TRUMP THAT WAS ON DISPLAY ON THAT STAGE IS REALLY PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH WHAT HE HAS BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG. AND AS SARA POINTED OUT, GOING BACK TO QUESTIONING WHETHER BARAK OBAMA WAS ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT QUESTIONING HIS CITIZENSHIP TO NOW QUESTIONING KAMALA HARRIS'S RACE. THAT IS CONSISTENT I'LL ALSO SAY, I MEAN I THINK THAT WHEN WE DESCRIBED THIS AS GOING OFF THE RAILS, WE SHOULD BE CLEAR TRUMP WAS THE ONE WHO SEEMED TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION FROM THE BEGINNING. THE QUESTIONS WERE THERE AND THEY WERE VERY CLEAR. I MEAN, HE WAS ASKED ABOUT WHETHER HE WOULD PARDON JANUARY 6 RIOTERS. HE SAID THAT HE WOULD INCLUDING THE ONES WHO ASSAULTED POLICE OFFICERS. HE WAS ASKED ABOUT A VERY HIGH-PROFILE CASE GOING ON RIGHT NOW INVOLVING A BLACK WOMAN WHO WAS KILLED BY A POLICE OFFICER. HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE CASE AND HE SEEMED TO SUGGEST THAT THE OFFICER INVOLVED MIGHT QUALIFY FOR IMMUNITY. SO THERE WERE A LOT OF MOMENTS THAT I DON'T THINK WE'RE VERY BENEFICIAL TO DONALD TRUMP IN THIS INTERVIEW, BUT WE'RE NEVERTHELESS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO HEAR FROM HIS OWN MOUTH BECAUSE HE IS NOT GETTING ASKED ABOUT THESE QUESTIONS WHEN HE GOES ON
