Trump critics blamed the president after the WHCA Dinner shooting

Critics of President Donald Trump blamed the president after the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) Dinner turned into chaos on Saturday as a gunman was accused of trying to kill the president and members of his Cabinet.

“Chaos follows him. And you’re not that safe, right? If you decide to get in his lane, you’re not that safe anymore. If you – just – he doesn’t care about your safety, he won’t protect you if you get in his lane because he’ll always protect himself first,” said former NBC anchor Chuck Todd while talking to former CNN anchor Chris Cillizza.

“So this guy doesn’t care if people do violence in his name. He only cares if violence is done to him, and he doesn’t see that he has a hand in the atmosphere of the world we live in right now,” said Todd.

Todd announced that he will not attend any event where Trump is present and said that he does not feel safe.

The former NBC host was also a guest on CNN on Monday, where he argued that only the president can stop the speech, during an interview with Kasie Hunt.

“The moderators set the country’s thermostat, for better or for worse,” he said. “And only the president can dismiss the speech, only the president can set the tone. To the president. That’s why you can’t expect the Speaker of the House to do this, the chairman of a political party. Of course everyone should watch their words and be careful in speaking passionately, but in the end, the political community and society as a whole take their cues from the beginning, the president from the beginning. pugilistic.”

Broadcaster Charlemagne tha God also pointed the finger at the president following this incident. The suspect, Allen, said he wanted to target the Trump administration, according to his manifesto.

“People always ask if we are going to reduce the violent speech of Trump. Stop it. I am sick of that story. I need every person in the media to direct that power and that question to one person and one person only: Donald J. Trump,” said Charalmagne. “At what point do people just say, ‘Hey Trump, you’re a drama?’

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., appeared to blame Trump for the shooting at the WHCA Dinner on Monday, suggesting the shooting was a result of his unpopularity.

Krishnamoorthi spoke about the shooting during an appearance on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” telling host Pamela Brown, “There’s a lot of concern, as you can understand, given the rising threat levels, in part because of — the president and the three assassination attempts on him, his very low approval rating, which unfortunately exacerbated it.”

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel also urged Trump to watch his speech when he rebutted those who were angry about his comments about first lady Melania Trump.

“And again, I agree that hate speech and violence is something we should reject. I do, and I think a good place to start dialing that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it,” Kimmel later told the first lady. “Donald Trump is allowed to say whatever he wants to say, as he is, as I am, as are we all. Because under the First Amendment, as Americans we have the right to free speech. But with that said, I’m sorry that you and the president and everybody in that room on Saturday went through that. I really am. Just because no one was killed, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t painful and scary. We have to come together and be the best. “

CHUCK TODD WAS FIRED FOR ‘STUPID’ ANNOUNCEMENT THAT HE WAS AVOIDING TRUMP EVENTS IN ORDER TO MANAGE HIS PERSONALITY.

Steve Schmidt, who founded the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, immediately after the shooting said that Trump is “a vile and disgusting man,” according to a video posted by The Daily Wire.

After calling Trump “the biggest domestic enemy of the Constitution in our lifetime,” he said the president poisoned the rhetoric and spirit of the US.

“He has poisoned the discourse in this country. He has poisoned the atmosphere. He has divided the country. He has done everything possible to try to destroy the customs and institutions of this country. And the truth is, he has succeeded in many ways. This person is a clear and present danger to the United States of America,” he continued.

The White House has blamed a “hate cult” for the third assassination attempt on Trump.

“Those who constantly lie and slander the president as a fascist, as a threat to democracy, and compare him to Hitler to score political points, are fueling this kind of violence,” White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt told reporters Monday at the White House.

“The left’s cult of hatred against the president and all those who support and work for him has caused many people to be hurt and killed, and it almost happened again this weekend.”

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., was asked Sunday about some rhetoric used against Trump following the shooting.

When asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” by Dana Bash that he and other Democrats should reconsider the heated, bitter language directed at Trump, Raskin responded, “What propaganda do you have in mind?” before adding that he was criticizing the administration’s policies rather than a personal attack.

“I’m talking about the principles of this administration, the dictatorship,” said Raskin. “I don’t make it personal.”
