Ana Navarro: Trump is going to 'get somebody killed in the media'

.......

"It is an incitement to violence. He is going to get somebody killed in the media."

She added she is "disappointed beyond belief" with the response homeland security adviser Thomas Bossert gave earlier in the show regarding Trump's tweet.

Bossert said he didn't think Trump's tweet was a threat and praised the president for his ability to communicate with the American people.

"What a wuss. You could see that he is ceding his principles," Navarro said. "You are the homeland security adviser and you can't stand here and say the difference between right and wrong."

........

"This is just going way too far," she said.

"The president of the United States is inciting violence against the free press and America. We cannot stand for it."

Trump on Sunday tweeted a modified video of him slamming CNN to the ground at a wrestling match.

The tweet escalates an ongoing war of rhetoric between the president and the cable news outlet. The video appears to show Trump attacking and subduing a figure whose face is obscured by a CNN logo.

Whow--trumps Homeland Security is just as viloent and stupid as Trump

....Trump tweeted the video with the hashtags #FraudNewsCNN and #FNN, apparently his new name for the network. He previewed the name in another tweet on Saturday.

The video immediately revived questions about whether Trump's anti-media rhetoric is encouraging violence against the media.

Last week, when Trump tweeted a personal attack against female MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski — he accused her of getting a face-lift and having a low IQ — the White House's Sarah Huckabee Sanders was forced to defend the president's tweets.......

I recopied here what CousinIT posted in Discussion forum:

ALERT!! McConnell just sent a revised kill bill to CBO. Theyre close to a deal. This is CODE RED.
CALL AND EMAIL your GOP senators and tell them to vote NO on BCRA/AHCA or any version of it. If you have a story about how repeal of ACA will affect you or someone you care for, TELL IT.

YES - call on a Sunday or on a holiday. LEAVE VOICE MAIL if no staffer answers. ALSO send email to your GOP senator AND their health staffers.

LIST here: http://www.istrumpcarestilldead.com/staffers/

DO. NOT. LET. UP.

5. Thank you diva77. EVERYONE w/ a GOP senator should go to local offices during next weeks recess or..

CALL their offices. On a Sunday and 4th of July Tuesday and every day next week. FILL UP their voice mail boxes. GO to their offices with family, friends and the stories about how losing your affordable health care or Medicare will affect you - or just go to ask them to OPPOSE any version of BCRA/AHCA -- or risk never being re-elected because only 12-17% of Americans want ACA repealed. Repeal or replacement of ACA is deeply unpopular. If they want to keep their fancy schmancy senate seats, they will oppose it.

Best: go to their local offices
Next best: call their offices every day or email or both.

ALSO, call and email their health staffers at the link diva77 gave above.

If they cannot get the 50 votes they need (only need 3 defections), then their damn wealthcare kill bill will die -- better their stinking bill die than millions of Americans due to unaffordable or no health care.

They said one guy calls everyday, just to remind them that they are never safe.

I don't know why they can't get that guy arrested.
