The daughter of Eric Garner, the man who died two years ago after New York City police placed him in a chokehold, walked out of an ABC News taping of a town hall with President Barack Obama Thursday in protest, saying network producers broke a promise to highlight her questions.

Erica Garner is now denouncing the session on race, saying she was lied to and was railroaded by ABC producers who ignored her questions for the president.

ABC is using black lives as a rating and to get paid, Garner told HuffPost in an exclusive video statement. They guaranteed me that I would be asking the president direct questions about whats going on. I was lied to.

Reggie Harris, Garners political adviser, said producers told him the head of Disney, ABCs parent company, considered Garner a major political figure and specifically asked for her to attend the session.

Ultimately, Garner met with Obama briefly backstage. I am sorry for your loss, the president said as he shook Garners hand.
