Behar: Trump’s ‘Straight-Up Condoning Violence Against the Media’

‘He’s tone deaf when it comes to the Saudi Arabia story from the beginning’

EXCERPT:

BEHAR: "Trump was in his safe space last night at a Montana rally where he praised congressman Greg Gianforte for attacking a journalist during his campaign. Watch."

TRUMP: "By the way, never wrestle him. You understand that? Never. Any guy that can do a body slam, he’s my kind of guy. ... This was like the day of the election or just before, and I said oh this is terrible, he’s going to lose the election. Then I said wait a minute, I know Montana pretty well, I think it might help him. And it did."

BEHAR: "So he’s bullying, isn’t he? I’m telling Melania. What he really is doing is he’s straight-up condoning violence against the media, at the same time as the investigation into whether journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, and also they cut his body. It’s a terrible story."
