Two-time failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton responded to the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump over the weekend by demanding that journalists “have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is.”
Clinton made the remarks after authorities in Florida arrested 58-year-old Ryan Routh — a Democrat donor with a criminal history that barred him from owning firearms — on Sunday after he hid on Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach for 12 hours armed with an AK-17.
“And I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is,” Clinton, who lost to Trump in 2016, lamented to far-Left MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.

“The late, great journalist, Terry Evans, one time said that journalists should really try to achieve objectivity,” she said. “And by that, he said, I mean, they should cover the object. Well, the object in this case, is Donald Trump, his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world. And stick with it.”

“I don’t understand why the press struggles to maintain a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is…his demagoguery and his danger to our country and the world.”

Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to the remarks by posting on X: “We look forward to every MSM journalist asking Kamala Harris if she denounces this violent rhetoric from Hillary Clinton less than 48 hours after President Trump almost got assassinated (for the second time) because of rhetoric like this.”
“This is evil,” added Trump campaign senior adviser Tim Murtaugh. “The day after Trump survived a second assassination attempt, Hillary Clinton is out trying to stir up a third one.”
International security professor Max Abrahms called Clinton’s remarks an example of “stochastic terrorism.”
“Hillary is the person most responsible for the Russia collusion hoax which did more to discredit America’s main institutions (media, intel agencies, Congressional committees) than anything else,” he added. “If not going to be president, she was going to burn America down.”:
X owner Elon Musk said that Clinton’s remarks were “troubling.”
Senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller posted on X: “This rhetoric is reprehensible. It is dangerous, reckless, vile, demented and unhinged.”
