Following the exchange, Alcindor tweeted a video of the press conference during which Trump told her, “Be nice. Don’t be threatening.”
“I’m not the first human being, woman, black person or journalist to be told that while doing a job,” she said. “My take: Be steady. Stay focused. Remember your purpose. And, always press forward.” The National Association of Black Journalists and Journalism & Women Symposium also expressed their support for Alcindor.
“Now more than ever our communities need facts and the truth. Yamiche and her colleagues are working hard to stand true to the principles of journalism, and to acquire and share the information that we all need to overcome this pandemic as a collective unit,” NABJ President Dorothy Tucker said in a statement. “The president’s attacks against her and others are not only unnecessary but demeaning and inappropriate.
NBCBLK You keep going, Girl. Love you.
NBCBLK But like...can we all sue his ass
NBCBLK COVID45
NBCBLK
NBCBLK she's a POS PERIOD
NBCBLK She is a total Ass, 110% Democrat, BIASED. Shows up on News talk shows, LIES and LIES MORE and seems to be very RACIST
NBCBLK Her moment in the limelight. Journalists today are entertainers.
NBCBLK Thank goodness grocery and pharmacy staff are busy working during this crisis instead of patting themselves on the back like our MSM
NBCBLK WeLoveYamiche
NBCBLK First off no one knows anything about this stupid virus they are learning about it as we go people can’t crap freaking ventilators!!!
NBCBLK She won’t be the last...as long as reporters keep wanting to be the story...
NBCBLK “berates”
NBCBLK Stop.
NBCBLK Damn he didn't have the decency to call her 'cutie pie'?!
NBCBLK Jim Acosta ain't black.
NBCBLK How about a quick of 'would you rather'... Would you rather be scolded and go to bed with a bruised ego? Oooorrrrrr would you rather report facts your government is desperate to hide, then go to bed, only to be woken at 3am and kidnapped by your government? sticksandstones
NBCBLK Tiny violins
NBCBLK She’s terrible🙄
NBCBLK Ha Haha he put you in your place
NBCBLK You all really can’t get over yourselves, can you?
NBCBLK If you continue on this ' victim' path, people are not going to take you seriously.
NBCBLK Man. She’s really milking this for all it’s worth, isn’t she?
NBCBLK Ffs....give it a rest. You are a hack. It has nothing to do with the color of your skin. It is most definitely the content of your character.
NBCBLK Coronavirus set to kill millions Hack journalists most affected
NBCBLK People are dying and you’re still talking about this? 🙄🙄
NBCBLK We love chubster
NBCBLK What? Trump chastises anyone who tries to make him look bad or asks him blatantly biased & dumb questioning. I guess they haven't figured out the whole 'Racist!' shtick isn't landing anymore & it's treated like the boy who cried wolf😄👍
NBCBLK She pulled her card out fast
NBCBLK Yes, journalists are the real victims here. Not the millions out of work. No, it’s you guys. 🙄🙄🙄
NBCBLK 🤡😜👌
NBCBLK People are dying. It didn't trend, a bunch of loser journalists tweeted about it. No real human cares.
NBCBLK
NBCBLK
NBCBLK
NBCBLK You were berated because your tell fake news
NBCBLK As a black man I don't want to be treated differently. The president is not a friend of the media, he fights with anyone who criticize him. Nothing to do with her gender or race. The left think nonwhite people can't be held to the same standard as white people.
NBCBLK Love - playing the victim! Inconsequential boob finally got her mug on TV. & of course it’s a racist thing. What else could it possibly be? How about narcissism?
NBCBLK No one outside your blue media bubble, and I can’t stress this enough, gives two drachmas about this story.
NBCBLK I watched this interaction. It wasn’t anything different than how he treats any other journalist.
NBCBLK “Trump berates black reporter” Should actually say “Trump berates person pretending to be a reporter”
NBCBLK Accused Trump but let’s take a look at what mayor Bill de Blasio in New York City told his people in March! Dems were completely irresponsible trying to get Trump....
NBCBLK Here’s the truth of what happened…
NBCBLK She berated him first and couldn’t take the punch back.
NBCBLK If you are bad at your job you are bad at your job no matter what!
NBCBLK She's a terrible reporter..but then again she works at NBC
NBCBLK She forgot obese whit a man ugly hair cut if she was trying to complete describe, Trump was talking”people” for the reporter’s.
NBCBLK Are you wearing a tent or is a boat tarp for the QE2?
NBCBLK You know what else is trending? IBelieveTaraReade
NBCBLK FakenewsNBC Essclates it’s “Race Baiting” tactics. It’s deplorable to interpret “Poor Journalism” as a race issue. All Americans need to “call out” all of the Fakenews and propaganda. FOX40 realDonaldTrump is still the answer in 2020.
NBCBLK She's a joke no matter what she is. Just another know nothing liberal ranting about Trump trying to make a name for herself. It's too easy for liberals all they need for fame is to trash Trump. It doesn't have to be true.
NBCBLK She was also not the first 'reporter' to be a total jackass. Weird how that works.
NBCBLK Many people are getting tired of “reporters” making themselves the story instead of the story.
NBCBLK It's NOT because your a woman, or a black person your a pain in the ass always negative
NBCBLK It’s obvious you never listen too
NBCBLK Yamiche
NBCBLK
NBCBLK idespiseYamiche.
NBCBLK Is Jim Acosta a black woman?
NBCBLK Of course her blackness had to be a main point. 'Be nice. Don't be threatening' is definitely targeting the woman's race. Fuck right off NBC.
NBCBLK You guys should definitely double down on this. Hell, triple down. The viewing public and voters love the plight of the journalists. YouFuckingClowns
NBCBLK Give it a break NBC. RIP MSM!
NBCBLK She's NOT a journalist she's an activist and if she can't play with the big boys she needs to stay home. people like her always hide behind her race and her gender when things get difficult. Now she's going to cry about how the white man is out to get her etc 🙄
NBCBLK So sensitive
NBCBLK He 'berates' most journalists, because most of you are scum, regardless of your skin tone. You're not special because you got the same treatment white journalists have gotten from him since day one.
NBCBLK Nobody cares journo
NBCBLK
NBCBLK
NBCBLK Wow you really can't be serious can you? Honestly?
NBCBLK Just another LiberalHack working for the DNC and spewing Democrat propaganda NBC like all other LameStreamMedia have been exposed by realDonaldTrump for being lap dogs for democrats and now CCPchina DemocratsTheEnemyWithin FakeNewsMedia EnemyOfThePeople WalkAway
NBCBLK Nor are you the first dumb-ass...!
NBCBLK
NBCBLK Oh please! We have bigger problems than some random reporter getting her feelings hurt. Grow up and share some real news
NBCBLK The President was mean to her. And her life was threatened? She almost died? He berated ANY reporter that pushes back on him. Her race has nothing to do with it. He was ruder to the NBC white guy last week. Quit making her a martyr. Trumps a prick with the media.
NBCBLK Enemy of The People
NBCBLK
NBCBLK Glad to be reassured by the journalists that both the real heroes and the real victims are, as always, the journalists
NBCBLK You do realize by spreading the notion that Trump is racist because he braided the black reporter is only going to increase his support? People see that that is bullshit. He berates Jim Acosta. He berates people he doesn't like. Stop it.
NBCBLK Seen this dead horse again
NBCBLK Right, you are not the first. So why is this a story?
NBCBLK Enemy of the people exhibit 7900
NBCBLK Thank for proving why it’s no surprise this is how a lot of Americans really view MSM 👇🏼
NBCBLK Another hero! So many heroes this week! Especially reporters!
NBCBLK You're doing OK Yamiche. We've watched you on PBS and appreciate your good stewardship. Trump's a mouthy old man who thinks he's much better than he really is. I'd say more but I'll stop there.
NBCBLK Hi mom look at me!! I’m finally famous!! I got a gotcha question in and was distectful to the office of the President. Look at my social media, I’m famous. AreYouProudOfMe
NBCBLK Begs the question, 'Why does he find Yamiche threatening?' The answer is not difficult.
Kymon5 NBCBLK WeLoveYamiche
NBCBLK Only playing to his base
NBCBLK You're not the first human being, woman, black person or definitely not journalist to be a complete disrespectful hack to the President and get called on it.
NBCBLK It has nothing to do with race.
NBCBLK Context: the big orange fool is killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. If journalists are not making Trump feel threatened by their questions, they are not doing their jobs.
NBCBLK i wanna know who that asshole is thats grabbing the mic..
NBCBLK JoeBiden you must have a black woman as your vp.
NBCBLK Barf.
NBCBLK All the news orgs should put their health reporters on the WH beat - and ask specific health related questions to Trump. He can't answer any of them honestly and constantly contradicts the health experts. He's why we're in this mess.
NBCBLK Equal Rights advocate
NBCBLK But u don’t put the exchange video in the article above? That’s the shitty reporting we are talking about
NBCBLK She forgot to take advantage of her fatness as well.
NBCBLK Why is the race card always played? Look everyone makes mistakes, maybe say I misunderstood, I am sorry but quit bringing race to the table. Victim mentality is sad.
NBCBLK That is old news from a couple days ago. What is your agenda? FakeNews
MalcolmNance NBCBLK You need to just go after him and don’t stop!
rootbanx NBCBLK She's a great reporter!
MalcolmNance NBCBLK Yamiche the truth hurts liars. So if certain people think your playing the card than play your card, if they don’t like well too bad and no one cares.. You’re doing an excellent job
NBCBLK She busted him and he decided to whine about how unfair she was instead of being honest. ''I don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators,' Trump told host Sean Hannity...' (article includes audio) The exchange from:
NBCBLK Pooh!
MalcolmNance NBCBLK These ppl are not social distancing
MalcolmNance NBCBLK Haha, Trump is threatened by Yamiche.
NBCBLK I'm waiting for a Trump supporter to acknowledge that he lied when he answered her question. His attack on her was to distract from the lie.
NBCBLK I'm sorry but you are a total pain in the ass I don't even know why he allows you in there I would have kicked your butt right out all you do is look for things to criticize
NBCBLK Yamiche always a victim.
NBCBLK He even busted on faux news reporter John Roberts today who is white and as leftist msm says in bed with your President Donald John Trump.
NBCBLK So now we have Human beings Women Black persons. And to think all this time I thought human beings included women and black people.
NBCBLK ...is that guy holding or grabbing the mic? Bc if it is the latter, he would be sorry he did
NBCBLK You weren’t even the first this week. Your race and gender doesn’t make you special.
NBCBLK Suck it up cupcakes. You got put on blast for showing off and now you're using the race card. Yamiche
NBCBLK Let me guess Yamiche & liberals think it's bec she's black? LOL Being rude to the President, hostile, biased & unprofessional has NOTHING to do with it? LOL Trump didn't create these liberals, but he sure has exposed them for what they really are! Hate filled, miserable zealots!
NBCBLK TheDemocrats do this also to the Indigenous people of North America
NBCBLK Yeah, the microphone-taking guy looked like some kind of henchman. Who was he?
NBCBLK Most Americans don’t love her and we think she’s a shitty journalist like most of the WH press is. Thank goodness for ChanelRion and JennPellegrino
NBCBLK ビジョン見えた 安倍は、世界大戦を起こす気だ。 マスク2つ 濃厚接触させ、 日本の人口を減少させる。 アベノミクスの代償を大量殺戮をし、 人口を減らす。 麻生 森 電通の無能なゴミども 黒田という雑魚 日本滅亡 未来が見えたよ 日本滅亡 カウントダウン 大量殺戮 世界大
NBCBLK So, black women are not allowed to be criticized? What the h*ll country do we even live in with this racist nonsense? If you can't handle being challenged, then don't do the job. Period. 🙄
NBCBLK Yawn.......
NBCBLK For God's sake. He tells everyone to be nice! Always the racist card!
NBCBLK Playing all the cards I see.
NBCBLK DO your job and report truth...stop whining!
