Following an assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, NPR Political Correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben warned on “Morning Edition” that violence ahead of the election can have “terrifying knock-on effects.” Kurtzleben cited the instance where a crowd briefly turned on journalists, blaming them for the shooting. She also pointed to other incidents like bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio, stemming from Trump and his running mate’s rhetoric towards immigrants.
On Monday’s broadcast of NPR ’s “Morning Edition,” NPR Political Correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben said that “we have weeks until Election Day, and violence can have terrifying knock-on effects.” And cited as an example, “after the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, the crowd briefly turned on the press and yelled that the shooting was journalists’ fault. It was very tense and very frightening for a short while there.
Co-host Steve Inskeep asked, “Well, now, police have a suspect in custody, as we heard from Greg Allen. He has his own political views, apparently, as expressed over the years on social media.
Kurtzleben responded, “Well, unsurprisingly, I’m going to say it doesn’t say anything good. But, to expound, there was a clip you played earlier where the Secret Service spokesman yesterday said, we live in dangerous times. And, yeah, that’s the blatant truth. Consider that another major storyline right now is that Trump and his running mate’s hateful rhetoric towards immigrants in Springfield, Ohio was followed by bomb threats in schools there.
She concluded, “I just keep thinking about, after the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, the crowd briefly turned on the press and yelled that the shooting was journalists’ fault. It was very tense and very frightening for a short while there. My point is that we have weeks until Election Day, and violence can have terrifying knock-on effects.
