And I don\u2019t mind that so much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Earlier in the rally, Trump also blasted the press, telling his supporters that \u201cthe media is so damn bad. It\u2019s unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">He also named several media outlets specifically, telling attendees, \u201cIt\u2019s one thing when CNN and MSNBC are crooked as hell. Look at CBS. Look what CBS did,\u201d Trump said before blasting the network for its interview last month with Vice President Kamala Harris on \u201cFace the Nation,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-sues-cbs-news-10-billion-alleging-deceptive-doctoring-harris-60-minutes-interview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which he has repeatedly<\/a> said was unfairly edited to paint Harris in a positive light. On Thursday, the former president sued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/media\/donald-trump-sues-cbs-kamala-harris-60-minutes-interview-rcna178327\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the network<\/a>, alleging that the interview with Harris was misleading.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Later in the rally, Trump said, \u201cABC, ABC, fake news, CBS, ABC, NBC. These are, these are, in my opinion, in my opinion, these are seriously corrupt people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In a statement, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung defended the former president\u2019s Sunday comments, saying, \u201cPresident Trump was brilliantly talking about the two assassination attempts on his own life, including one that came within 1\/4 of an inch from killing him, something that the Media constantly talks and jokes about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Cheung added, \u201cThe President\u2019s statement about protective glass placement has nothing to do with the Media being harmed, or anything else. It was about threats against him that were spurred on by dangerous rhetoric from Democrats. In fact, President Trump was stating that the Media was in danger, in that they were protecting him and, therefore, were in great danger themselves, and should have had a glass protective shield, also. There can be no other interpretation of what was said. He was actually looking out for their welfare, far more than his own!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Trump\u2019s attacks are part of a longtime trend of attacking the media, which he\u2019s done publicly since his first presidential run in 2016.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Back then, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2016\/05\/31\/politics\/donald-trump-veterans-announcement\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">referred to members of the press<\/a> as \u201cdishonest,\u201d \u201cnot good people\u201d and \u201cscum\u201d during press conferences and campaign events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The former president\u2019s remarks on Sunday came during a long speech in which he also attacked Harris as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/live-blog\/harris-trump-michigan-pennsylvania-rally-election-live-updates-rcna177533#rcrd61983\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">corrupt<\/a>,\u201d called President Joe Biden \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/live-blog\/harris-trump-michigan-pennsylvania-rally-election-live-updates-rcna177533#rcrd61983\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a poor, stupid guy<\/a>,\u201d and blasted former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI took over a mess because I took over the mess that Barack Hussein Obama [left],\u201d Trump said at Sunday\u2019s rally, adding that Obama was a \u201cmajor troublemaker,\u201d \u201ca big divider\u201d and \u201ca terrible president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Trump also told the crowd, \u201cI think we\u2019re going to start having a little fun with Michelle. I think we\u2019re going to have a little fun with Michelle, but I always treated her with a lot of respect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">A spokesperson for the Obamas did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">At another point in the rally, Trump said he should not have left the White House on Jan. 20, 2021, when Biden was sworn in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThe day that I left, I shouldn\u2019t have left. I mean, honestly, because we did so, we did so well,\u201d the former president told supporters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">And at the beginning of the rally, Trump focused his remarks on criticizing the way the election has been carried out, sharpening his attacks on mail-in voting and election security at the end of a cycle where some Republicans have been advocating for early voting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The former president launched into an extended criticism of the American election process, calling for single-day voting and paper ballots while casting doubts about Election Day and the ensuing ballot counting process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI just heard that a couple of states may go an extra 12 days. How the hell do you have an election? You know, they spend all of this money on these damn machines and paper ballots, you\u2019d have the, you\u2019d have the answer by 9 o\u2019clock tonight. It\u2019s damn, it\u2019s a damn shame,\u201d Trump said, later arguing: \u201cYou ought to have the election over by 9 o\u2019clock. I\u2019m hearing now they\u2019re going to take weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Trump also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/live-blog\/harris-trump-michigan-pennsylvania-rally-election-live-updates-rcna177533#rcrd61984\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">repeated unfounded claims<\/a> of widespread election fraud in states like Pennsylvania and said the upcoming election is \u201call about the lawyers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"endmark\">\u201cEvery polling booth has hundreds of lawyers standing there. It\u2019s all about the lawyers. Everybody, standard lawyers. Nobody should have that. You should have a damn ballot and you hand it in,\u201d the former president said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/donald-trump\/trump-wouldnt-mind-if-someone-shot-media-pa-rally-rcna178573\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump on Sunday leaned heavily into claims of election fraud and appeared to call for violence against members of the press at his rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=121845\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-121845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=121845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121845\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=121845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=121845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=121845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
