Showing Original Post only (View all)The president calls journalists the enemy, and today five of them are dead. [View all]
I am quite sure that the domestic terrorist who slaughtered five people today in Maryland was not from Venezuela, North Korea, Somalia, Libya, Syria, or Yemen. And in case you were wondering, those are the countries on trump's travel ban list. All those countries are responsible for a whopping eight percent of the world's terrorism. Maybe instead of trying to keep folks from some of these other countries out, we should be worried about the terrorist who are already here in our country. They have created terror time and time again.Today's attack, sparked in part by the words of the president, is proof of how dangerous the words from the most powerful man on earth can be. There is no denying that trump has created a hostile environment for journalists and those in the news business, and the end result today was the slaughter of five innocent people who happen to work for a newspaper. trump, when asked about the shootings in Maryland, cracked a smile and walked away. Of course, being the twitter coward that he is, he tweeted about it.
"Prior to departing Wisconsin, I was briefed on the shooting at Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland," Mr. Trump tweeted. "My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. Thank you to all of the First Responders who are currently on the scene."
Save your "prayers". If there is a God she doesn't hear you.

OP
I wonder if the murders of fellow journalists will change how the WH press covers him?

As Katy Tur personally attests, and we witnessed, this was a theme during his entire campaign...
