‘Sad day for America’: Sky News host blasts CNN coverage of attempted Trump assassination

it is a sad sad day for America it is hard to find the words to describe the shock and the horror that people are feeling right now after many of us were're witnessing on live television the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania this is a devastating day for America right now people are pouring their hearts out on social media and posting pray for Trump many of the people I'm speaking with over there are feeling scared about how close this was looking at the still images you can see the bullet that pierced his right ear as he gets up with blood smeared on his face look what happened this horrific act has just deepened an already huge divide in the United States of America but if you are following media Outlets like CNN today well you would have thought that Donald Trump had a fall look at this headline sec service Rush Trump off stage after he falls at rally Falls it was an assassination attempt he's not Joe Biden that doesn't know how to stand up and that's not a one-off headline this morning I was looking at my phone and I was taking screenshots because even though it's CNN I still couldn't believe it the next headline I saw Trump injured in incident at rally incident that's really what they wanted to go with when the man who's been president before and is running again was just shot oh and there's more video captures what happened at Trump rally that left him injured ooh wonder what it could be CNN is using the video as clickbait while refusing to acknowledge what it is that just occurred and that is an attempt to murder the man who is running for president something that has not happened since 1981 when there was an assassination attempt on Republican president Ronald Reagan I scroll further down CNN's website and I get to analysis and of course says this headline Trump is favored but Biden can still win this election well I really doubt that but let's leave CNN for now I have more to say about their coverage in a moment because it actually gets worse and let's look at some of the other reaction we are seeing today and remember America is right now feeling the weight and the Heartbreak of what has unfolded today but Colorado Democrat Steven woodro posted on X the last thing we need was Sympathy for the Devil but here we are really classy you know comments like that are expected from troll accounts but politicians well it really gives us an insight into how dark and how ugly some of the thinking and some of the attitudes are and also how much hate there is for Donald Trump so let's look at what some of the Democrats have said in the past have they ever called for political violence I I I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country and maybe there will be people need to start taking to the streets this is a dictator you know there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as long as there is unrest in our lives enemies of the state show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful do something about your dad's immigration practices you feckless when they go low we kick them how do you resist the temptation to run up and bring her neck biggest Terror threat in this country is white men most of them radicalized right to the right I thought he should have punched him in the face I said even if you lost he insulted your wife he came down the escalator and called Mexicans rapist imers he said do you think I should have done I think you should have punched him in the face and then gotten out of the race you would have been a hero I'd like to punch him in the face I said if we were in high school I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of them punch some people in the face when was the last time an actor assassinated a president they're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump and that's a fact look as his character is stabbed to death where is John wil's Booth when you need him sit right there pull it up I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House a Missouri state senator is under investigation by the Secret Service after saying she hopes president Trump is assassinated I will go and take Trump out tonight it is just disgusting now back to CNN because according to them despite surviving an assassination attempt there's no legitimate threat to Donald Trump Donald Trump and the people around him perceived themselves to be under threat and that's all that matters that is that is not legitimate that is wrong oh and here's moreing in coverage complaining about how Trump reacted seconds after someone tried to kill him I do want to say there was one thing that when I watched the tape I found odd uh because of all of the heated rhetoric and that is that after he was hit uh former president Trump got up and said fight fight fight I think what we're hearing from people is that's not the message that we want to be sending right now we want to Tamper down now we all know that those comments were going to come at some point let's find a way to criticize or even blame Donald Trump when we analyze how he was almost murdered on stage but those comments came even faster than expected just hours after he was attacked and while he was still recovering in hospital there is no question that this is such a scary time for America right now the people I've been speaking to say that they are scared after what they have witnessed and also what the future holds but after today I suspect we are going to see a lot more support for Donald Trump we're seeing this already billionaire Elon Musk posted on X today I fully endorse president Trump and hope for his rapid recovery despite all the hate in the world and even an assassination attempt Donald Trump is not giving up wait wait [Applause] we this is the lightest from authorities in the US is that the FBI stands with the people of Butler County in Western
