Trump Incites Violence Against Media: “To Get Me, Someone Would Have to Shoot Through the Fake News”
Former President Donald Trump, at a recent Pennsylvania rally, heightened his criticisms of news outlets. He stated he wouldn’t be bothered if someone shot “through the fake news”, a reference to the media representatives often present between him and the crowd at such events. His comments were described as follows by Trump Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung, “President Trump was stating that the Media was in danger, in that they were protecting him and, therefore, were in great danger themselves, and should have had a glass protective shield, also.” These remarks come soon after Trump’s arguably threatening comments about former congresswoman Liz Cheney, whom he labelled a “war hawk”.
