This is truly horrible. The president is gleefully applauding violence against a journalist.

...amid an international controversy over the apparent murder of another journalist who lived in the U.S.



Trump is constantly escalating. He did a veiled reference to Gianforte's assault at a September Montana rally, saying the congressman is a fighter in more ways than one. This time, just came out with it.

And his followers posted death threats, gun photos and my reporter's license plate online.

The president's words put EVERY journalist at risk from any wacko who doesn't like what we write.

Journalists will never be safe as long as this monster is in office.

Fascists and worse. No wonder the KKK supports rump and the like. No wonder his cabinet is filled w/ cronies who are going down left and right for various crimes. No wonder that the numbers (polls) are down for republicans everywhere and that Nov. 2018 is going to be a bloodshed event for republicans running on rumps' record and language of hatred and bigotry. Most Americans are not fooled and will vote w/ their conscious come Nov. 2018. The free press is one of our valued institutions that don't hesitate to call these folks out when wrong is wrong.
