A co-chair of this year’s National Association of Black Journalists convention stepped down on Tuesday, less than a day after the convention announced Donald Trump would appear for a moderated conversation.
Karen Attiah, a Washington Post columnist, said her choice was influenced by “a variety of factors,” though she did not directly attribute it to the group’s decision to host the former president. She said she was not consulted about the move to platform Trump.
“To the journalists interviewing Trump, I wish them the best of luck,” she wrote in an X post.
