CBS News, CNN Attack Trump For What He Said Immediately After He Got Shot.

(Well we all knew this was coming. It’s Trump’s fault he got shot and he just egged it on further right after getting shot.
Babylon Bee put out one of their memes saying Trump was indicted for inciting his own assassination attempt. That is closer to the truth than what they knew.)

Employees at CBS News and CNN immediately attacked former President Donald Trump just moments after a man who donated to far-left causes from shooting former President Donald Trump at a political rally in Pennsylvania in what federal law enforcement officials have officially labeled an assassination attempt.
The suspect — identified by the FBI as 20-year old Thomas Matthew Crooks — was shot and killed after he fired multiple rounds at Trump, one of which was literally an inch from being a potentially fatal hit. At least one Trump supporter in the crowd was killed and two more were seriously injured during the attack, the U.S. Secret Service said in a statement.
As shots rang out, Trump grabbed his ear — a journalist captured a photograph of the bullet after it hit Trump and traveled past his head — and Secret Service shouted “Get down! Get down! Get down!”
Trump dropped to the ground as he was tackled by Secret Service until Matthew was neutralized by law enforcement.
Before they moved him off the stage, Trump yelled at the agents: “Wait! Wait! Wait!” Then looking at the thousands of supporters who showed up, he raised his fist and shouted: “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
Immediately following Trump’s inspiring remarks to the crowd, CNN’s Jamie Gangel said: “I do want to say there was one thing that when I watched the tape, I found odd, because of all of the heated rhetoric.”
“And that is that after he was hit, former President Trump got up and said, ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’,” she complained. “I think what we’re hearing people is that’s not the message that we want to be sending right now. We want to tamp it down.”
CBS News’ Margaret Brennan, a highly partisan news host, fumed on television that Trump did not tell people to calm down in a statement he released a little while after the incident.
“He is recovering from these injuries now, this was a traumatic event no doubt for him,” she said. “But I did notice there was no call for lowering the temperature, condemning all political violence, and really trying to signal to his supporters as well not to retaliate or to have any kind of escalation.”
