Trump’s Dangerous Rhetoric: “I Don’t Mind if You Shoot the Media”
Former US President Donald Trump has made a potentially dangerous statement at a rally in Pennsylvania, suggesting he wouldn’t mind if an attempt to assassinate him involved shooting through members of the media. Both Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris have been speaking behind panels of bulletproof glass as a security measure following an assassination attempt against Trump in July. After pointing out the glass in front of him, Trump mentioned that there was no glass between him and the media, stating someone would have to “shoot through the fake news” to get him. This comment sparked concerns about it being a potential call for violence.
