April Ryan Recalls Verbal Assault By Black Pro-Trump Pastor At MLK Day Event

Posted byBy Shamone Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Reporter April Ryan spoke at an event by Newseum and the Committee to Protect Journalists. Ryan discussed a frightening experience she had at the Martin Luther King Day event on Monday when she asked President Donald Trump if he was a racist.

Ryan revealed that after she asked Trump about being a racist (which he ignored) she was  confronted by a Black pro-Trump pastor. She said the pastor began to taunt her and along with raising his voice he said “You were rude”.

“I’ve never felt fearful like that,” Ryan said. “I was doing my job, whether you like the question or not… This is the President of the United States, and when you have people… wondering about comments that you’ve been making over and over… I had a right to ask. It’s a sad day when you have to ask the sitting U.S. president if he’s a racist.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
