A shooting in a newspaper office after years of journalists being called the enemy of the people. I’ve heard so many Trump supporters call for murdering the press. Now they’re celebrating all over the Internet. We’re heading somewhere very dark.

Milo's been lowkey yelling people to gun journalists down. Trump has called the press the enemy of the people.

Maybe Trump should stop referring to the news media as "Enemy of the American people." https://t.co/87r6r6usmt
This guy is clearly insane. And yet the media jumped to blame Trump for this. Of course, when a Muslim shoots up a place, we are told not to jump to conclusions….

https://twitter.com/MrFilmkritik/status/1012463752044826624We don’t know the motive for the Capital Gazette newspaper mass shooting in Annapolis, but sincerely hope how Trump and the far right incite hatred towards journalists had nothing to do with it. Regardless, this should send a message that rhetoric is dangerous and unacceptable.
