Here’s a response from political analyst and campaign organizer Karine Jean-Pierre, who is Haitian-American; Alcindor’s parents are from Haiti. 

Standup comedian and television host W. Kamau Bell weighed in.

Imagine how good a Black woman has to be to get the job of asking the president questions. Just think about how much better she has to be than everyone around her. Then imagine having to put up w/ this racist & misogynistic nonsense. @Yamiche is the best & deserves better. pic.twitter.com/9YJ0Nn2Koq

As did an AKA sorority sister and fellow journalist Sophia A. Nelson.

Viewers also chimed in.

The Root’s Michael Harriot opined on the “why” of Trump’s behavior.

Of course @realDonaldTrump is threatened by @Yamiche.

Every black grandmother who ever lived already said:

“Tell the truth and shame the devil.”

Alcindor was interviewed on MSNBC’s Morning Joe over a week ago and asked about Trump’s behavior towards her.

We already know that Trump loves to use the “nasty” word. Let’s not forget this 2018 Newsweek story: ”Donald Trump Attacked Six Black Women in Three Days: ‘Nasty,’ ‘Loser,’ ‘Racist Question’ and ‘Stupid Question.’”

President Donald Trump, who defended himself against claims of racism just this week, has attacked six prominent black women in the three days since the midterm elections that resulted in Democrats taking House control from the Republicans.

Trump challenged the women’s intelligence and in a degrading tone called one “nasty” and a “loser.” He also said he was being asked a “racist question” and a “stupid question.”

The women ranged from journalists to an election official, a politician and a former first lady.

The journalists were White House correspondents April Ryan and CNN reporter Abby Phillip. Trump has tried to silence Ryan ever since he took office.

Black women across the nation watch television and read the news. We see this, and we’ll see Donald Trump at the polls.

Trump is at it again today

“I know South Korea better than anyone.”

Then tries to play gotcha w/@Yamiche by asking her the population of Seoul.

He says it is 38 million people, which is actually about 4X what it is.

Clearly irked by her question, he leaves.

Ladies and gentlemen, your wartime president.

FYI…according to the CIA, there are 9.9M people in Seoul, South Korea.  NOT 38M as the President inaccurately said to the great @Yamiche in a failed dunk. https://t.co/qQ3eg0nNco

Look at this clown dressed like a slime ball  2 bit pimp on the White House press staff trying to take the mic out of Yamiche Alcindor‘s hand because Trump didn’t like her question. It looks like somebody that used to work at one of Trump’s casinos! pic.twitter.com/ZpVWD07qHz
