If and when another journalist is killed..Will Trump take the responsibility?

Last night's mobfest in FL had Trump pointing out the press who were covering it and declaring it 'fake news'.. The mob then turned on the assembled press and it was very ugly. Trump has already said that the press is the enemy of the people (Because they report on him, and quote him on stuff he later has to walk back) so how long before 'enemy of the people' becomes 'I want you to take action against the enemy of the people'?

And when the next journalist is killed (Remember the ones recently murdered?) will Trump cheer their demise? I sort of think he would.

I haven't heard a GOP suit condemn either Trump or the mob...why is that?

Maybe the press should boycott his rallies? I think it could come to that, even if it's for their own safety.

What journalist was murdered as a result of a comment made by the president? False information such as what you have written is ripping this country apart. You lost the election. Move in and try harder next time.

@jackjjackson No journalst has been murdered because of Trump's urging, yet. But if one was killed (or injured)by one of the mob that follow him because they took his comment 'enemy of the people' to extremes; Would Trump pay their bail? Congratulate them? Pardon them? Or condemn them as they should be and deny he ever roused the rabble?

The journalsts who were killed recently were killed because someone felt slighted about what they thought was libelous reporting..a long term grudge. Or as they saw it, 'fake' news. I never heard Trump expressing that the press was doing a valuable job though.

If you think his rabble won't do that you're naive. An armed nutjob went to the DC pizza palour and offloaded his rifle because he believed the bullshit known as pizzagate; Which in itself was a joke gone too far. The blogger who invented that story never believed anyone would be so stupid as to take it seriously. Never underestimate stupidity. So I can easily see someone killing a TV reporter and expect praise from Trump.

So this statement of yours then King would be a deliberate LIE:

[quote]And when the next journalist is killed (Remember the ones recently murdered?)[/quote]

Please feel free to try to equivocate and explain away why it isnt a deliberate LIE?

You write fiction based on partisanship having no connection so reality. No one takes that seriously. You’re a left wing Alex Jones a laughingstock.
