CBS News Capitol Hill correspondent Scott MacFarlane told podcaster Chuck Todd on Wednesday about how traumatized he was by Trump rallygoers blaming the media for the assassination attempt against President Donald Trump in 2024.
MacFarlane said he had personal trauma from the crowd’s immediate rage in response.
"For those of us there, it was such a horror because you saw an emerging America," MacFarlane told Todd on his podcast. "And it wasn't the shooting, Chuck. This was – I got diagnosed with PTSD within 48 hours. I got put on trauma leave, not because, I think, of the shooting, but because you saw it in the eyes, the reaction of the people."
"They were coming for us," he said in the clip flagged by The Daily Caller. "If [Trump] didn't jump up with his fist, they were going to come kill us!"
"I know," Todd agreed.
Later in the discussion, MacFarlane added that, "Many of us on press row, as we talked about this on our text chains for weeks after, were quite confident we'd be dead if he didn't get back up."
While it wasn’t everyone in the crowd, MacFarlane claimed that dozens of people turned on them and said, "’You did this. This is your fault. You caused this. You killed him,’ and they were going to beat us with their hands. I mean, they were going to kill us. And respectfully, the Secret Service had bigger issues [than] protecting us. When he jumped up triumphantly, it saved us."
Nonetheless, he said, "I can't eliminate from my mind's eye the look in their faces. That's what America is right now.

I’ll bet he saw a “therapist” every other day before this event and that same therapist told him he has PTSD.
And his wife’s boyfriend has to listen to her complain about him.
Damn right. And don't you forget it!
Laura Logan has more courage than this weasel ..

Here's the funny part no one has noticed. What Scott Tissue is really fearful of, is that he gets paid to talk (poorly), and he knew he wouldn't be able to talk his way out of that moment.
That his own inadequacy as a 'journolist' exposed his rotten soul laid bare to himself.
There's his PTSD. He realized he was a coward hiding behind a microphone and always had been. That is what a straight shot of DMT from the pineal into the neocortal will do to a Leftard wimp like Tissue.
Fake news and fake reporters are spoiled brats making up fake versions of the news.
I hope this sad excuse of a man has been peeing in his pants every day since.
Yes, it should.
