CNN political pundit and journalist Chris Cillizza posts a graphic (gif) to his twitter account moments ago attacking President Trump through his remarks during the National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service earlier today.

What makes Cillizza’s tweet particularly disturbing is it depicts President Trump as viewed through a gun sight, and shows the President as an assassination target against the backdrop of being “killed in the line of duty”:

>>Is threatening the president like this a crime?

Apparently not if it’s a republican president.. after all CBS broadcast a “Snipers Wanted” caption over footage of President Bush back in 2000. No one went to jail for that.

The media have been attempting to incite an assassination since before the 2016 election. So, to have a CNN scumbag to openly post something like this is not surprising.

The liberals went berserk over a similar campaign ad with ‘cross-hairs’ not aimed particularly at anybody.................

But, we need to tone down our rhetoric.

This is the same jackass that was (fake) morally outrage about comments about McCain yesterday.

The tweet has been deleted.

But, lots of people screen shotted it. Let’s see if the SS will finally take something seriously.

Sounds like more and more of these "journalists" need the What I Saw at the Coup solution.

There should be a effort to start using in cases like this a quote marked implication of false-ness

as in : “journalist” for such person’s pretend vocation

I would not support Bush or Obama being depicted that way. I sure as hell won’t support Trump being depicted that way.

We don’t resolve our political differences with assassinations.

We get to resolve them with our vote.

Overt threat or not, CNN should not put that sort of thing on the air. It’s denigrating to our nation, not just the President.

Certainly hope you are right (but I sort of doubt it...).

They went totally berserk when Sarah Palin had pictures of the states whose Dems she wanted to target:
“Palin’s Facebook page now carries a map featuring 20 gun sights, one for each of the Democrats targeted this year by her political action committee SarahPAC. Three of the gun sights, those where incumbent Democrats have already announced their retirement, are colored red.”
