You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys.

You've attacked black journalists calling them a loser saying the questions that they ask are quote

stupid and racist. You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Maralaga resort.

So my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you, why should

black voters trust you after you have used language like that?

Well first of all I don't think I've ever been asked a question so in such a

horrible manner first question you don't even say hello how are you are you with ABC because I think they're a fake news network a terrible network

And it only went downhill from there.

That was part of Donald Trump's contentious interview yesterday

at a conference for the National Association of Black Journalists, where

Trump questioned whether Vice President Kamla Harris is Black.

We'll show you that moment and the defiant response from the Trump campaign to the widespread criticism

and outrage about the former president's appearance.

We'll also have reaction from Vice President Harris, who was on the campaign trail in Texas speaking at a historically black sorority event.

And then Donald Trump's day ended with a rally in Pennsylvania, his first event in that state

since the assassination attempt against him.

We'll play for you his joke about the widow of the man who died at that rally last month.

And we'll bring you the very latest out of the Middle East

following the killings of a Hezbollah commander in Lebanon

and the political leader of Hamas in Iran.

Good morning and welcome to Morning Joe.

It is Thursday, August 1st.
