Jason Johnson: Trump ‘Could Pose an Existential and Physical Threat’ to Journalists

‘We have to remember that as we are laughing about him and thinking he’s silly, he could also potentially be dangerous’

JOHNSON: "I think the protesters are just saying look, we are going to be here and you can't just walk on over us if you are elected. But I also think this. We've got to wait to see what these final numbers are on minority voters. 'The Washington Post' did a story earlier this week. They think that Trump's numbers with Latinos might be closer to 20 percent. I think if exit polls were wrong all year because people thought Hillary was going to win and Trump ends up winning we can't necessarily assume that these numbers are right. But I'll tell you this. I'm all for laughing. I'm all for having a good time. But this president could pose an existential and physical threat to press members, to members of minority communities, and we have to remember that as we're laughing about him and thinking he's silly, he could also potentially be dangerous.'"
