This did happen the other day, but again, this sort of shit should disqualify someone running to be president.
Basically, someone climbed the riser to "get at" the press section at a Trump Rally/Klan Bake, but they were stopped and hauled off by security. So far, whatever.
If you can access the video, Trump says "That's OK, that's beautiful, he's on our side."
There has been a stark failure of the political media to address the increasingly visible violence in rhetoric and action within Cult 45. Aaron Rupar talks about "sane washing" where reporters impose some sanity on Trump's statements and actions. It's also the bias towards coherence, whereby they try to take his word salads and impose some form if meaning onto nonsense. Or they simply ignore it like the Hannibal Lecter or electric boar gibberish.
At this point, I wonder what would've happened if security hadn't intervened in time and that guy had managed to attack a reporter while Trump cheered them on. How would prestige media have covered that? Would THAT form of violence finally break through?
