MSNBC’s Velshi, Clint Watts Blame Trump for Capital Gazette Shooting
EXCERPT:
VELSHI: "Jim Cavanaugh said it, there are always attacks on the press, but it feels like there are more these days.”
WATTS: “It is a unique time in our country’s history. We have open hatred towards the media, fake news, this is the era of it. We hear lots of discussion about it. We had a figure just show up in the last 48 hours, I believe, that said they would be excited if vigilante squads would shoot down reporters essentially on site. This is a troubling thing here. We don’t know if it is a personal motivation, what we tend to see with a workplace kind of shooting. Maybe it is a personal grudge. But it is a target, a place where we have seen increasingly come under verbal assault. You have to wonder if that’s actual physical assault based on that type of an outlet.”
