NPR reporter Eric Deggans revealed in an X post on Saturday that ABC host Rachel Scott received death threats following her widely publicized interview with former President Donald Trump at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago.

“At a membership meeting today, NABJ’s executive director said ABC’s Rachel Scott had received death threats following her work asking incisive questions of Donald Trump at the groups national convention Wednesday,” Deggans wrote.

The Daily Beast reached out to ABC and the NABJ for comment but has yet to receive a response.

On Wednesday at the NABJ convention, Scott asked Trump if he believes Vice President Kamala Harris “is only on the ticket because she is a Black woman,” to which Trump replied, “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don’t know. Is she Indian, or is she Black?”

Fox News host and co-panelist Harris Faulkner said Scott was getting the interview “off to an emotional start,” according to The Hill.

  1. I DID NOT LIKE THE WAY SHE PRESENTED HER SELF AT THE INTERVIEW. AT SOME POINT I THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO JUMP ON THE FORMER PRESIDENT, THERE IS NO PROFESSIONALISM ON HER SIDE AT ALL. I ALMOST CRY. TOO MUCH SCREAMING AND SHOUTING AT THE FORMER PRESIDENT. IT DOESN’T SHOW RESPECT AT ALL, SORRY. THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO TREAT A FELLOW BEING.

  2. This is just more fake news. We all know how terrible President Trump was treated in this phony interview. The Media is a terrible joke on journalism!

  3. She was very rude. And trues so hard to “trigger”. The man
    It was very unprofessional
    If she really did get a death threat. That also is disgusting and very wrong.
    I’m sure that it did not come from the trump team. Trump is not violent. Nor does he condone bodily harm to anyone .

    1. So asking serious questions is now ‘unprofessional’? The Trumpniks are very violence-prone. Look at OafKeepers and Prideful Bois. No matter how many times you beat your head with the Sacred Brick of Comrade Trump, he is still an idiot. Those two groups led the insurrection of the US Capitol, where people died. Twumpy does not represent reality.

      1. The Democrat junkies MURDER 75+ PEOPLE DAILY, 200+ O.D. DEATHS DAILY, and SHOOT 1,000+ PEOPLE DAILY !!! Plus MILLIONS of OTHER DAILY CRIMES !!!
        ALL that has to be STOPPED!

  4. I feel Rachel Scott had every right to ask trump the questions that she did! If he was HONEST at all he would’ve responded HONESTLY!! He hasn’t been HONEST A DAY IN HIS LIFE!!

  5. Rachel Scott is an ABC useful idiot of the school of defunct journalism by the propaganda fascist machine of MSM

  6. You guys should stop kissing Trumps ass. The man is a con man, idiot, racist, criminal, and sex offender. He don’t want to answer some very simple questions. This man is a disgrace, disgusting human being.

  7. Incisive questions, that is putting it mildly, Scott painted the former President as something he wasn’t a fascist racist white supremist, which totally false! Trumps record was to support all Americans and floated all boats! If Scott wants to be a race baiting propagandist, then be honest about it like Al Sharpton and Joy Ried!

  8. While I do believe the ABC reporter was incredibly rude towards President Trump, and have serious doubts that she received any death threats, I have no problem with “incisive” questions. Now, where are your unscripted incisive questions for Kamala Harris?
