We shouldn’t even have to say this, but it’s worth reiterating that we at AAN do not justify, condone, or excuse violence against those we disagree with politically – period. That said, being heckled at a rally doesn’t seem to qualify as a life-threatening danger.
Perhaps one of CNN political analyst April Ryan’s colleagues could remind her because she’s convinced fellow CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s life was in danger at President Trump’s rally this week in Tampa. (Breitbart)
Acosta, who was heckled with “CNN sucks!” chants before Trump appeared on stage, has said he did not feel like he was in America and expressed that he is “very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt.”
“That’s a serious moment and a serious place. And Jim Acosta’s life, in my opinion, was in jeopardy that night,” Ryan told CNN host Don Lemon on Wednesday evening. “There was a safety issue.”
Others at CNN, like media reporter Brian Stelter, have accused Trump of leading a “hate movement” against the mainstream press. And CNN’s David Gergen even said that blood will be on Trump’s hands if there is violence committed against mainstream media journalists.
Ryan also said reporters like herself need security like the secret service detail White House Spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders received after a left-wing Virginia restaurant owner kicked her out of his establishment. The restaurant owner than promptly followed the White House press security to her next destination and harassed and organized protests against her family.
Ryan, seemingly unable to view the world through conservative America’s eyes – who also feel threatened by emboldened leftists – singlehandedly blamed Trump for stoking the flames that have left reporters fearing for their safety and even their lives.
