NEW: CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane tells Chuck Todd he got "PTSD" after Trump assassination attempt — *NOT* from the shooting, but because the crowd blamed the media.

"For those of us there, it was such a horror."

"I got diagnosed with PTSD within 48 hours. I got put on trauma leave. Not because, I think, of the shooting, but because you could — you saw it in the eyes, the reaction of the people."

"They were coming for us! If he didn't jump up with his fist, they were going to come kill us!"

I would have thought he got it from working for SeeBS. That’s where most got it from during the 60s.

I’m not seeing the problem.

So he’s saying that REPEATING over and over, that Trump is the second coming of Hitler had no effect.

As Dennis Prager noted - if someone really believed the above about Trump, he would be duty-bound to try to kill him, in order to prevent the future carnage that Hitler brought by not being killed.

I got diagnosed with PTSD within 48 hours. I got put on trauma leave.

Do I get to apply for trauma leave for having to watch this BS?

Most of our soldiers go to war, see horrendous acts, experience extreme trauma, yet don’t get ptsd. McFarland has someone say so etching to him and he gets ptsd? How juch of a sissy does one have to be to claim ptad from words? Sheesh!

I’m reminded of how CNN was informed ahead of time and was able to hide in the bushes at 3 AM ready to film when they swotted Roger Stone and his wife. This illegal law-fare persecution was done for maximum scare impact and effect.

CNN live streamed the Butler PA rally. What did they hope to film that day?

It took the MSM a week to even say the word “assassination”.
See BS has been manipulating the “news” since the 60’s.

These people are Leftist activists, along with that comes mental illness.

The shooting is not the media’s fault at all. The CIA/DNC did that. But the media is evil incarnate for helping to kill thousands of children with COVID shots. With all sorts of lies about crime that does not exist, or racism against whites or sexism against young women athletes. The press has a seat in the lowest ranks of hell. If this guy is scared because crowds finally see their evil, I’m OK with that. There should be a price for their evil. I’m no judge or executioner. But turn the other cheek, does not mean ignore the harm to our children, women, or society.
