NYT’s Kanno-Youngs: Yes, Trump Almost Got Killed, But He’s Also an Instigator of Political Violence
‘This is somebody that has encouraged people at his rallies to go after hecklers’
EXCERPT:
KANNO-YOUNGST: “I mean, just the fact that right now you have a former president who, yes, has been the target of apparent assassinations twice, but is also an instigator of political violence. This is somebody that has encouraged people at his rallies to go after hecklers in his rallies. We know what happened on January 6th as well, and the encouraging of people to go to the Capitol, and then the later attack on that Capitol. Just that fact that you have both a president that is a target and instigator at this time, I think is emblematic of just the heightened sort of threat environment that we're in right now when it comes to political violence.”
