CBS News’ Scott MacFarlane Says He Got PTSD after Trump Assassination Attempt Because Crowd Blamed Media

‘They were coming for us! If he didn’t jump up with his fist, they were going to come kill us’

TRANSCRIPT:

MacFARLANE: "For those of us there, it was such a horror because you saw an emerging America. And it wasn’t the shooting, Chuck. I got diagnosed with PTSD within 48 hours, I got put on trauma leave, not because I think of the shooting, but because you could -- you saw it in the eyes, the reaction of the people. They were coming for us. If he didn’t jump up with his fist, they were going to come kill us."
TODD: "I know."
