“They started the war. I see them, I’m going to shoot them. Bye.”

That was a caller into cspan today, taking the president’s words on the media to heart an threatening to shoot reporters.

I suspect a lot of people will die before this is over, and I know the conservatives will rationalize it into some version of “well, they had it coming”….

CNN hosts Don Lemon and Brian Stelter were the target of a death threat heard on-air Friday during a live C-SPAN program about Trump and his supporters’ dislike for news media.

The caller identified himself to the “Washington Journal” host as “Don” from State College, Pennsylvania, and a supporter of Trump’s criticism of news media outlets. The brief comment made during the live broadcast falsely claimed the CNN hosts labeled all supporters of President Donald Trump as “racists.” Stelter later flatly denied he’d made the accusation against supporters of the president, but he did note Fox News’ Sean Hannity recently airing a years-old clip of Stelter discussing “racial anxiety” over Trump’s election.
