CNN commentator and Republican strategist Ana Navarro on Sunday said President Donald Trump “is inciting violence against the free press” by railing against the media.

On ABC News’ “This Week,” Navarro said Trump’s Sunday morning tweet of a video of himself attacking a figure with CNN’s logo superimposed on their face was “unacceptable.”

“I think that is the President of the United States taking things way too far. It is an incitement to violence. He is going to get somebody killed in the media,” she said. “Maybe that will stop him.”

Navarro said she was “disappointed beyond belief” by White House homeland security adviser Tom Bossert’s response to the tweet.

[Wellstone ruled]

1. Yes,

Seems we are drifting in that direction. Read some of the Comments in your local News Rag. Scary crap going ,and Trump is playing off of this stuff.

[SweetieD]

2. He is. And when it happens Trump and Republican sycophants generally will all run and

hide their hands, deflect, and pretend their violent rhetoric had nothing to do with it.

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. no - they will immediately blame it on Democrats

[leftstreet]

9. Yep. The 'they made me do it' defense

It'll run 24/7 on FOX

[NCjack]

28. It will be Pres. Obama's fault. nt

[LiberalLovinLug]

23. Yup, or CNN itself

That's what you get when you put out fake news!

Then when the Democrats criticize that response, it will be waaaaaaaa the Democrats are being mean to me!

[BumRushDaShow]

3. A GOP congressman just got elected doing the same type of move to a reporter.

That is how they roll.

[DBoon]

15. and got over $100,000 in campaign donations the day after

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Stochastic terrorism.

[NRaleighLiberal]

8. yes.

[Hekate]

17. This

[niyad]

29. exactly

[Orrex]

5. Respectfully, I disagree (in part)

If someone in the media is killed, Trump will laugh out loud about it in private, and his handlers will coach him very hard about what to say in public. He will then read whatever statements are handed to him, and thereafter he'll tweet to mock the dead media figure.

"Plenty more FAKE JOURNALISTS" or the like.

[Iliyah]

6. Ya think corporate media realizes if you don't agree and comply with t-rump

they might be subject to physical danger? Not my prez and his fake administration alongwith the effed up party don't give a shit about of the country (gops) care?

No.

[CakeGrrl]

16. They're already compliant. He wants 100% Dear Leader Subservience.

A free press would never have enabled him as the MSM did during the election.

They did their job - keeping a significant part of the American voting public ignorant, failing to highlight his severe character deficiencies while hyping all negative things Clinton.

But now, the ego demands that he not be made to look bad. If they're not kissing his ass, they're a problem.

[haele]

31. Corporate ownership doesn't care unless it affects ratings and revenue.

Dozens of reporters and crew can get killed by a lone crazed gunman "protecting the reputation of the Dear Leader", and they'll not shed a tear because there's going to be all sorts of viewership after the fact for weeks.

The journalists themselves may care, but the corporate Media heads? Pffttt.
If it's exciting, if it's scandalous, if it can increase viewership... if it bleeds - it leads.

[CrispyQ]

10. No it won't stop him. Also, if that happens, it will emboldened his supporters even more. -nt

[GoCubsGo]

13. Yep. It's just a matter of time.

What a sad state of affairs when our journalists have to wear Kevlar vests to cover our so-called president and his ratfucker minions.

[lpbk2713]

11. Trump is reckless and irresponsible.

It is bound to happen sooner or later. And of course he will deny any accountability.

[LovingA2andMI]

21. This Right Here

#25thAmendmentNow

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. if "grabbing women by the pussy" and "I could kills someone and still get elected" didn't matter

then inciting murder of a media member will just get his supporters all sorts of excited.

This is so far beyond believable that there truly are no words.

[tavernier]

14. Of course. That's the plan.

The elimination of "disrespectful" journalists will become quite routine.

[47of74]

18. I think reporters should apply for concealed carry

I know I'd apply for one if I was a journalist.

[AmandaRuth]

19. i hate to say this, but I have been feeling that random fear for quite some time, many years

Ever since someone followed me home and then tried to run me off the road because of my John Kerry bumper sticker, and my mail box was bashed in because I had Dem signs in my yard. Welcome to my world, maybe the media can understand the danger of these people

[katmondoo]

22. They are all over in every town big and small

They were here during the Bush years, any mention of our Military deaths in Iraq was met with jeers. Young men dying for a fake war was OK with them.

[bora13]

20. positively 5th ave blues

any bets on 5th ave being the location?

[leanforward]

24. When will one of the GOP lemmings SPEAK UP

Navarro is right. His actions of incitement will cause a fruit loop to . . . .

Again, someone elected in the party needs to stand/speak up to this obvious incitement. Don't tolerate him.

I am biased against pRezident dRumpf and any GOP lemming who are keeping quiet in order to benefit from dRumpf business enterprises and/or money laundering.

Follow the money. Financial interests in the US don't work with him. Why?

[oberliner]

30. She claims to be a Republican

For what that is worth.

[ProfessorGAC]

34. It's Not A Claim, Oberliner

She's another blinded by conservatism type, but even she sees the downside of this nonsense
I'm not praising her. I don't care for her, but at least she's showing rightness. (Yeah, I made that word up)

[oberliner]

35. She voted for Hillary Clinton

That's not something Republicans generally do.

[ProfessorGAC]

37. She Was A "Never It" Voter

You know that!

[oberliner]

38. Didn't most of those folks vote for McMuffin?

Or sit it out?

[ProfessorGAC]

39. You're Dodging Like Floyd Mayweather (eom)

[oberliner]

40. Huh?

I'm just saying that I don't know how much of a Republican Ana actually is. She voted for Hillary.

[IronLionZion]

25. Dipshit has already gotten normal Americans killed

by promoting hatred and racism.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's an increase in sexual harassment and sexual assault too.

And he is not concerned since he's not doing it himself. He just vaguely incites someone out there to do something and will claim there's no direct connection.

[Initech]

32. Yup - Portland stabbing.

By a neo Nazi who was coming from a free speech rally. The right is playing a very dangerous game with free speech right now. The Portland stabbing was just the beginning.

[kimbutgar]

26. He's already had some innocent people killed by his cult members

But my bigger fear if he gets those voting lists of democratic voters he will use the IRS and encourage his followers to go after them. I would not be shocked if he tries to nuke California. The guy is that insane!!!!

[broadcaster90210]

27. Well duh

Trumpkkkins and Right Wingers have been dying to kill us. You think that Second Amendment humping over the past few decades is just coincidence? Why do you think they armed all these lunatics. And yet we still can't manage to vote.

[Initech]

33. Especially the last 5 years.

Every single mass shooting, gun humpers and 2nd amendment worshippers would buy guns in droves because of the year that Obama was going to take them away. Now they've done everything possible to legalize killing except just flat out making The Purge a real thing. And you know that's their wet dream.

[NCTraveler]

36. Says the people who gave him to us. Nt
