Several progressive media outlets on Saturday night provided disgraceful coverage of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.
Not all left-leaning media outlets did this. ABC News, CBS News, NBC News and others have correctly reported, along with centrist, independent and right-wing sources, that Trump was shot and Secret Service agents quickly removed him from the stage at a campaign rally.
However, CNN and others decided to go in a different direction.
CNN initially wrote: “Secret Service removes Trump from stage after he falls at rally.”
O Indy Star and other vehicles of the USA Today claimed: “Trump removed from stage by Secret Service after loud noises startle former president.”
O Washington Post wrote: “Trump pulled out after rally riots.”
The website Political was even worse writing: “Photo of bloodied Trump punching the air immediately highlighted by his allies.”
A Newsweek wrote an unbelievable headline, which has since been deleted, stating: “MAGA responds with outrage after Donald Trump is injured at Pennsylvania rally.”
Yes, that’s the story: Conservatives react to assassination attempt on former president.
Not to be outdone, Colorado Democratic state Rep. Steven Woodrow decided now was the right time to tweet: “The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil, but here we are.”
It turns out that spending eight years calling a man Hitler and the devil has some disgusting consequences.
And, as usual, the mainstream media is complicit.
