Trump Calls Journalists "Enemy Of The People" During Pennsylvania Rally Minutes Before Man Storms Into Media Section

[CatWoman]

A man attending a campaign rally for Donald Trump on Friday stormed the media section, attempting to climb up the side of the enclosed area, before being tasered by law enforcement on the scene, according to a video posted to social media by a reporter for CBS News.

Less than ten minutes before, the former president called journalists the “enemy of the people.”

Trump claimed that the New York Times is losing “reader after reader,” which brings him joy. “I have to be happy about that,” the Republican presidential nominee began, "because they truly are the enemy of the people. They are the enemy of the people. They tell false stories about me—that’s all they do is they write false stories.”

Earlier in the speech, Trump also directly went after CNN following the organization’s exclusive sit-down interview with Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota governor Tim Walz a day earlier.

“It was a very weak interview from the standpoint of CNN. I think CNN should be ashamed of themselves,” Trump said before acting out how he would have responded to questions from the organization. The network’s interview with Harris and Walz was watched by around 6.3 million viewers on Thursday, according to the Nielsen data, almost double the 3.3 million viewers who tuned in for Trump’s CNN town hall in May of 2023.

2. What say you, media?

Your own people are in danger at that man's rallies. Maybe you should boycott and stop giving them airtime.

ETA: I just noticed that first tweet called the guy a protester. Protesting what? He was trying to earn Dear Leader’s favor.

5. the most bizarre thing about all these years of this is how the media has BUILT drumpf from the ground up

endless free airtime

endless excuses being made

endless double standards in how they cover drumpf vs. his opponents (fixation of "her emails" and Biden's age)

and the media has done that all for him while he is simultaneously calling them our enemy.

14. If not Trump directly executing his 'enemies', he will indirectly encourage his followers to do it.
