Trump Jr. Pins Assassination Attempt On ‘Propagandists’ In The Media

Donald Trump Jr. pinned responsibility for the assassination attempt on his father last month on the years of hatred that the mainstream media has directed at him.

Trump Jr. made the remarks during an exclusive interview with The Daily Wire during live coverage of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Tuesday when asked about the media’s honeymoon period with Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

He said that he believes that those in the media — whom he described earlier as “regime propagandists” — are going to do whatever they can to continue helping Harris avoid accountability for as long as possible.

“She’s been the presumptive nominee for basically a month, she has yet to answer any actual questions,” he said. “I think the only interview I saw her doing was with her communist running mate, Tim Walz, where they interviewed themselves.”

“But she’s not taken really any questions from the press,” he added. “Anything she’s done has been scripted on a teleprompter, and no one in the media even cares. No one’s even saying, ‘Hey, should we maybe actually hear from what will be the actual nominee, but certainly the presumptive nominee?’ And I guess they’re fine just running the same playbook, which is, you know, let’s hide her in the basement. We know she’s not good off-script. She’s not even that good on script, but the more we can keep her from real people, the more we can keep her, you know, on-script and not impromptu, the better it is for us to be able to perpetuate the lie and install the candidate of their choice.”

He called the media “truly embarrassing” and a “disgrace” to the country and hypocritical for calling Republicans a threat to democracy while not holding Harris accountable over her record.

“They seem to be able to run roughshod over all of those things, but again, that’s nothing new,” he said. “They called everyone in the world a fascist, and yet, they’re the ones that want to jail their political opposition. They’re the ones that want to censor and silence them. They are the ones that, you know, ultimately caused an assassination attempt of the leading candidate of the opposition party.”
