Donald Trump Jr. had a tense back-and-forth with a reporter for NBC News at the Republican National Convention Monday, during which he called the news crew “clowns” and ultimately shooed them away by saying, “get out of here!”
The exchange was cordial at first, with NBC News correspondent Jacob Soboroff asking the eldest Trump child about the former president’s plan to change his convention speech in light of Saturday’s assassination attempt, supposedly pivoting to a message of “unity.”
“I think he did spend a lot of time changing up the message of what it’s been. He’s been under constant attack, but it’s a different time in America. A lot has happened in the last 48 hours,” Trump Jr. said, even as the tone of his father’s Truth Social posts hasn’t changed much.
