EXCERPT:
CNN State of the Union host Dana Bash came under assault from the left on Sunday for daring to ask Rep. Jamie Raskin if he would think twice about hot rhetoric against President Trump after a third assassination attempt.
“Call To Activism,” with 1.2 million followers on X was furious: “WTF: CNN’s Dana Bash humiliates herself on live TV insinuating to Jamie Raskin that Democrats are to blame for political violence for ‘heated rhetoric’ like saying Trump ‘is terrible for this country.’ Completely delusional and embarrassing.”
Bash started without blaming either side:
BASH: And then there’s the political rhetoric that we have seen just get — just become kind of off the rails and how that has perhaps gone hand in hand with the political violence that we have seen in this fight.
RASKIN: Well, that’s why I was so happy that President Trump went to that, because he had called the press the enemy of the people. There have been so many attacks on reporters. You know, there have been lawsuits brought against media entities. And so there’s been this terrible assault on the First Amendment and freedom of press and speech. So I thought last night would be a wonderful opportunity to try to reclaim the basic values of the country.
