Less than 48 hours after the second attack on Donald Trump in as many months, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was once again stoking incendiary rhetoric against the former president during a national television appearance.
On Sunday, a man armed with an AK-47 hid in the bushes near Trump’s Palm Beach golf club for 12 hours, seemingly waiting to target the former president. A Secret Service agent neutralized the threat by opening fire, forcing the suspect to flee his hideout. He was later arrested and processed by authorities.
A day later, in conversation with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, Clinton called the former president a “danger to America and the world” in prime time, questioning the media for allegedly failing to adequately cover how “dangerous” the former president is.
“And I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is,” Clinton said. “You know, the late, great journalist Harry Evans, you know, one time said that, you know, journalists should, you know, really try to achieve objectivity. And by that, he said, I mean, they should cover the object. Well, the object in this case is Donald Trump, his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world.”
