Don Trump Jr.’s tense post-debate exchange with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins over ‘radicalized’ people ‘trying to kill my father’

Donald Trump Jr. blasted the media for creating stories that “radicalize” voters who are “trying to kill my dad” during a tense exchange with CNN host Kaitlan Collins.

Trump Jr. spoke in the spin room after the vice presidential debate between Sen. J.D. Vance and Gov. Tim Walz took place in New York City on Tuesday.

As Collins noted, the debate had a civil tone, with both potential vice presidents agreeing at times.

The conversation turned sour when the CNN host asked the former president’s son, “Should we see more of that on the debate stage when your dad is up there?”

As Collins noted in her conversation with Donald Trump Jr., the debate had a civil tone with both potential vice presidents agreeing at times.

But this is where the conversation between the two turned sour when the CNN host asked the former president’s son, “Should we see more of that on the debate stage when your dad is up there?”

Trump Jr. responded, “You know, I’d like to see that across the board. Sometimes the political climate is not so much, we all heard about Trump’s distortions, we saw what they lied about my family, you know, I was an agent of Russia.

‘But Hunter Biden’s laptop was completely Russian disinformation, the opposite turned out to be true. You know the media did that, they created so much of that environment.

That was the point where the interview got exciting. Trump Jr. went on to blame the political climate the media created for his father’s assassination.

‘The media has radicalized the people who are trying to kill my father. We have now had to deal with this twice in the past two months. “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.”

“You know that didn’t just magically happen. He’s not, that’s a media created thing, a fake Russia scenario. They walked around with it for years, even when it was refuted, they walked around with it. You know that environment was not created by Donald Trump alone.”

Collins said, “Okay, but can I just say you can’t blame it, and 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

Collins quickly stepped in to offer some criticism of Trump Jr.

Collins said, “Okay, but can I just say that you can’t blame it, and everyone wants your father to be safe, no one wants the threats against his life to happen, but you can’t blame the media.

‘There is no evidence that this was the motivation [assassination attempts].’

But Trump Jr. interrupted and said, “When someone gives people a platform where they can literally call Hitler every day for nine years, that’s what is created.

“Whether you want to believe it or not, it’s a fact.”

Collins clapped back with, “But as you know, JD Vance also once compared your father to Hitler. He wondered if he was America’s Hitler.’

Trump Jr. said, “When someone gives people a platform where they can literally call someone Hitler every day for nine years, that’s what is created. “Whether you want to believe it or not, it’s a fact.”

The first assassination attempt occurred on July 13 when 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks shot and wounded Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania in one of the most horrific acts of violence in political history

The first assassination attempt occurred on July 13 when 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks shot and wounded Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania in one of the most horrific acts of violence in political history.

Crooks opened fire from a rooftop 400 feet from where the former president stood on stage and addressed thousands of fans in Butler at 6:15 p.m.

Trump suddenly grabbed his ear and there was blood on his face after at least eight shots were fired and the crowd began shouting as Secret Service agents swarmed around him.

The former president then stood up, raised his fist and shouted “fight, fight, fight” as he was rushed from the scene to the hospital. Just a few hours later, he issued a statement saying he was doing well and describing the moment he felt the bullet tear through his skin.

The second assassination attempt took place while Donald Trump was golfing with real estate investor and New York landlord Steve Witkoff on September 15.

The alleged shooter was identified as registered Democrat Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, who was found unarmed, while a backpack, GoPro camera and AK-47-style rifle he left behind were found at the scene.

Crooks killed one member of the crowd and sent two others to hospital in critical condition before he was shot and killed in the terrifying incident.
