Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said Tuesday he plans to introduce legislation that would make threats and attacks against news organizations a federal crime.
“What we have to address is the continuing threat of physical violence, whether by guns or other means, against the press that may intimidate them in their vital newsgathering operation,” Blumenthal said at a press conference.
“It is a priority for me to protect newsgathering operations no matter what their form and the act that we’re proposing would in fact establish a federal crime when someone threatens or attacks anyone doing f act-gathering or news operations. That is the purpose of this bill.”

It should have been started last month. But I have given up on any of them being prosecuted. When President Trump leaves Office we are on our own.
AS do I, Friend, as do I.
What about violence against Republican congressmen?
