Erica Garner claims ABC News silenced her during a televised town-hall event with President Obama on Thursday evening. Garner is the daughter of Eric Garner, the black man who died in police custody after being placed in a chokehold by an NYPD officer in 2014. After ABC did not give her the chance to ask a question of Obama—as she claims was originally promised—Garner began shouting, “I was railroaded! I was railroaded by ABC on the two-year anniversary of my father’s death!” She also called ABC producers “liars,” according to pool reports, because “They got us all the way down here” without giving her the opportunity to speak. In a statement, ABC News said Obama met with Garner following the event.
