Less than 48 hours after President Donald Trump praised the “unified” reaction of journalists who’d been present when a gunman attempted to storm the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed top Democrats and the American press for the attempted assassination.
Speaking at a press briefing on Monday, Leavitt blamed the latest instance of political violence in the U.S. on what she called “systemic demonization of [Trump] and his supporters by commentators, by elected members of the Democrat Party and even some in the media.”
