7:37Now PlayingRoland Martin and the panel blasted Donald Trump after he publicly insulted another Black reporter, warning that repeated attacks on journalists and Black women are becoming normalized in American political culture.
Roland Martin sharply condemned Donald Trump after Trump publicly insulted Black reporter Akayla Gardner during White House remarks, calling him an “absolute imbecile” and warning that attacks on Black journalists have become a repeated pattern.

They warned that the media’s constant amplification of Trump without meaningful consequences has helped normalize attacks on journalists and public humiliation as political theater. The discussion also focused on how younger generations are absorbing this behavior and repeating it online and in public life.
