At the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump Jr. faced off with MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff, rejecting his question about immigration policies and accusing the media of creating divisiveness.

As Soboroff approached Trump Jr. on the convention floor in Milwaukee, he attempted to ask about the former president's alleged plans to reinstate family separations as part of his immigration stance. Trump Jr. responded with a barrage of criticism directed at the media, blaming them for fueling the controversy surrounding his father.

"They lied about Russia, Russia collusion, they said he was a traitor, they went after him in every which way possible," Trump Jr. alleged. "If the media actually starts being an honest broker, talking about the things that he did, the prosperity he brought, the peace deals that he signed around the world rather than the disaster that we’re living right now, I think you’d do everyone in the country a big favor."

The situation escalated when Soboroff, author of "Separated: Inside an American Tragedy," persisted with his query regarding family separations. Trump Jr. erupted, disparagingly referring to MSNBC as "MSNDC" and calling its reporters "clowns."

"Even 48 hours later, you couldn’t wait, you couldn’t wait with your lies and with your nonsense, so just get out of here," Trump Jr. exclaimed, waving away Soboroff and abruptly turning his attention back to the convention stage.

Trump Jr.'s contentious interactions with the media have become a common occurrence. In 2019, he clashed with "The View" co-hosts, particularly Joy Behar, over her use of blackface.

Prior to the convention, Trump Jr. shared a disturbing image of his bloodied father, former President Donald Trump, who had narrowly escaped an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania. Trump Jr. affirmed his father's unwavering resolve, emphasizing his commitment to "Save America."

The shooting incident has significantly impacted the convention's atmosphere, elevating the stakes and prompting calls for unity from the Trump campaign. However, Trump Jr.'s exchange with Soboroff underscores the ongoing tension between the media and the Trump family.

In a separate development, former Trump rival Nikki Haley is set to address the convention, signaling the party's increasing unity behind Trump's candidacy. As the convention unfolds, all eyes will be on the potential implications of Trump Jr.'s fiery rhetoric and the broader media landscape that surrounds the Trump camp.
