Republicans are blaming Democratic rhetoric for inciting the alleged assassination attempt at the White House Correspondentsâ Dinner. To that end, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt unleashed tirades at journalists that were soaked in MAGA derangement. One cultishly lionized Trump as a âfearless presidentâ for standing up to âbulletsâ while absurdly accusing the media and Democrats of â11 yearsâ of âhatefulâ and âviolentâ speech about Trump. The other tore into Democrats and the media for daring to point out that Trump poses an âexistential threat to democracy,â as if thatâs not rooted in his actual conduct, which it is. Yet if anything, the media has not sufficiently conveyed the threat Trump poses. We talked about this disconnect with Matt Gertz of Media Matters, whoâs been writing well about the absurdity of inviting Trump to the press dinner. We discuss the danger Trump poses for press freedom, why the media struggles to report on the threat despite being a target, why time is running out to get this right, and how Democrats should proceed now.
