Trump Turns Attack on MSNBC Journalist Into Rally Fodder

I don't care what political party you are or what you believe - if this doesn't sicken you then we have a bigger issue in this country. If ANY President said this or encouraged this it's wrong. If ANY elected official says this it's wrong.

At a rally in Bemidji, Minn., on Friday, Mr. Trump went after the MSNBC anchor and correspondent Ali Velshi by name, describing a moment when Mr. Velshi was hit in a knee by a rubber bullet in May while reporting on a Minneapolis protest prompted by the police killing of George Floyd. (The incident was captured live on MSNBC.)

“It was the most beautiful thing,” Mr. Trump said, after incorrectly stating that Mr. Velshi had been hit by a tear-gas canister. He added, “It’s called law and order.”

The president brought up the incident again the next day at a rally in Fayetteville, N.C., to more applause.
