Moments after Donald Trump was rushed to safety following a failed assassination attempt at a rally on Saturday (13), some of his supporters turned to the press and blamed reporters at the scene for the incident.
“This is your fault!” one participant shouted emphatically, pointing at journalists as he approached the barrier separating him from the professionals.
“It’s your fault!” exclaimed another supporter.
Reporter Sophia Cai witnessed some people in the crowd saying, “You’re next” and “their time is coming.” She even reported that some rallygoers tried to break down the press enclosure, but were stopped by security.

Although Trump’s in-person campaign team has urged members to “condemn all forms of violence” and said it “will not tolerate dangerous rhetoric on social media,” some of the campaign’s supporters Make America Great Again (Make America Great Again) have already vehemently attacked the press for its harsh reporting on Trump.
The behavior sounded alarm bells about what another four years under the former president’s management would be like.
Newspapers have been reporting on Trump’s plans to use the federal government for his own benefit, including seeking revenge against his political opponents.
Based on these reports, supporters of the former president blamed journalists for allegedly creating a charged atmosphere that led to the assassination attempt — while ignoring Trump’s own incendiary rhetoric.
