Donald Trump Jr. got into a tense exchange with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins following Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate. Trump Jr. blasted Collins and left-wing media outlets for having “radicalized the people that are trying to kill my father.”
He said the media “created so much of that environment.”
“The media has radicalized the people that are trying to kill my father. I’ve had to deal with that twice now, in the last two months,” he said of the attempts on his father’s life.
“I’ve had to have that conversation with my five young children, twice in the last two months about someone trying to shoot their grandfather,” he added.
“You know that didn’t just magically happen. That’s not him, that’s a media-created fake Russia scenario. They ran with it for years. Even when it was disproven, they still ran with it. You know, that environment wasn’t just created by Donald Trump,” he continued.
Collins tried, and failed, to defend the media.
“Okay, but, but can I say, you can’t blame — and no one wants — everyone wants your dad to be safe,” she insisted.
“Everyone wants your dad to be safe. No one wants the threats against his life to happen. But you can’t blame the media for those threats. There’s been no evidence.”
“When someone calls — and allows people to have a platform to call someone literally Hitler every day for nine years, it creates it, whether you want to believe it or not. That’s a fact,” Trump Jr. said.
