CNN‘s Juliette Kayyem voiced concerns that the multiple attempts on former president Donald Trump‘s life could help him politically and propel him to the White House.
Kayyem had a strange choice of words to describe the assassination attempt against the former president, calling the situation a “problem” and “unfortunate” – that is to say, a problem for the media and Democrats.
Authorities arrested 58-year-old Ryan Routh after the Secret Service noticed his AK-47-style rifle as he hid in the shrubbery only a few hundred yards away from the former president at the Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach, Florida.
Unsurprisingly, Routh was also found to be a Democrat donor with a long and colorful criminal history, the New York Post reported.
“And I really don’t care what you feel about him, or Harris,” Kayyem said on the network late on Sunday.
“I mean, this is, this is the expectation that he will be safe.”
Kayyem continued:
“And the reason why this is, you know, in some ways, you know, you said how close the election is, the problem is this is a safety issue that is being thrown into a very intense political environment in which the very fact of an assassination, a constitutional moment because it’s, it could have impacted voters, will be used for political purposes.”
“And that, to me, is, is just as not as a, you know, exceptionally unfortunate, because whatever your beliefs are, we do deserve to have campaigns that are not part that where violence isn’t being used as either a sword or a shield,” she added.

Similarly, MSNBC host Alex Witt raised concerns over Trump’s response to the second assassination attempt, warning about his so-called “rhetoric.”
“Do you expect there to be calls from within the Trump campaign to do that?” Witt asked, referring to the possibility of “toning down the rhetoric.”
MSNBC political analyst Elise Jordan responded by comparing past incidents and their impact on political tone.
“Remember back to the assassination attempt from President Trump’s life and how there was talk of a new tone and the Republican convention was, by Trumpian standards, muted,” Jordan noted.

The media’s first talking point is not about the safety of the Republican candidate and former president of the United States, but rather how the attempt on his life will give him an advantage over his opponent.
Incredible.
Bitch should have thought about that when she called him an existential threat or whatever insult she is fond of throwing.

In other words “Repeated attempts by Democrats to get their lunatic supporters to kill Trump might not work until AFTER he is re-elected”.
Last night on MSNBC Maddow , 24 hours since the second assassination attempt, Hillary Clinton lamented, “I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is.”
