WATCH: Donald Trump Jr. Snaps Back At MSNBC Reporter At RNC, Orders Him To Leave Event
Donald Trump Jr. forcefully rebuffed MSNBC reporter Jacob Soboroff at the Republican National Convention, directing him to leave the event following questions about his father’s policies and leadership. This comes just days after the assassination attempt on Trump Sr., who has now secured enough votes to become the GOP’s presidential nominee once more.
“Your father as president, I think you would even say was a divisive figure. What’s it going to look like in the second term?” Soboroff asked, putting the microphone in his face. “I don’t think he was a divisive figure at all,” Trump Jr. chirped back.
“I think the media created divisiveness around him. They lied about Russia collusion. They said he was a traitor. They went after him in every which way is possible.” As Soboroff pressed on about the potential continuation of policies like family separation, Trump Jr. dismissed the framing of the questions as biased and accused MSNBC of perpetuating falsehoods.
“It’s MSDNC, so I expect nothing less from you clowns. Even today, even 48 hours later, you couldn’t wait. You couldn’t wait with your lies and with your nonsense. So just get out of here,” he yelled, signaling the end of the interview.
WATCH:
Trump Jr. is scheduled to speak on Wednesday at the RNC.
Former President Trump announced on Truth Social over the weekend that he had thought about postponing his trip to the RNC, but said he “decided that I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else.”
The GOP once again chose Trump as their presidential candidate following the roll call vote Monday afternoon. This marked the third time Trump has received the nomination since 2016. He is slated to formally accept this nomination during his speech on Thursday evening.
The 2024 favorite also officially selected Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his 2024 running mate. Vance, a celebrated author and former Marine, will play a key role in Trump’s bid to reconnect with the heartland and working-class voters across America.
“After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“J.D. has had a very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the Campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond,” Trump continued.
“As Vice President, J.D. will continue to fight for our Constitution, stand with our Troops, and will do everything he can to help me MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Congratulations to Senator J.D. Vance, his wife, Usha, who also graduated from Yale Law School, and their three beautiful children. MAGA2024!”
Next month, the Democrats are set to host their own convention in Chicago.
