- MS NOW Star: Trump Has ‘Certainly Contributed’ to Violent Political Rhetoric...
MS NOW anchor Antonia Hylton said it is important to remember President Donald Trump “certainly contributed” to the violent political rhetoric in American politics before the latest assassination attempt against him at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night. Hylton shared her thoughts on Sunday afternoon. She said it was nice that Trump was “very reflective” following the shooting, right after MS NOW played a clip of the president telling Fox News it was a “very sad evening in many ways,” but also a nice moment of unity shared by Democrats, Republicans, and those in attendance. That comment echoed what Trump said in his press conference late on Saturday night, where he applauded law enforcement and gave kudos to the mainstream press for its “responsible” reporting on the attack. Hylton said those remarks were good to hear — but were still lacking. “I know that there are some voters, some Americans, who I think would have liked to hear more from the president. Who, you know, just weeks ago, posted about the possible extermination of an entire civilization online, who has called his political foes ‘vermin, lunatics, scum, terrorists, the enemy within,'” Hylton said. “He has certainly contributed — at a minimum — contributed to the political rhetoric.” She continued, “So you know, while it’s I think nice to hear this sort of sense of unity, or at least appreciation across the aisle, I know that there are people who feel these remarks have fallen short.” MS NOW contributor Molly Jong-Fast then shared she was in the room when the shooting took place. She said she was “pretty freaked out” by the thwarted attack, and that it reminded her of all the school shootings and young kids who have been “traumatized” in the USA. “This is like every day for us,” Jong-Fast said. The pair shared their two cents following the attempted assassination against Trump, which added to a list that includes the 2024 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania and another attempt at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course. Cole Tomas Allen — the 31-year-old suspected shooter — appeared to have been motivated by conspiracy theories about Trump and Jeffrey Epstein; he wrote in his manifesto that Trump was a “pedophile” and “rapist” who needed to be killed. Trump’s critics have made his past ties to Epstein a major issue during his second term. That fixation spurred the Justice Department to release millions of… [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago - ‘I Have Been Through This a Couple of Times’: 60 Minutes Gets Trump’s Reac...
President Donald Trump told 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O’Donnell on Sunday he “wasn’t worried” during the frenzied moment a shooter attempted to storm the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and kill him and members of his administration the night before. O’Donnell wanted to find out what the president was thinking and feeling during the latest assassination attempt against him. “I was in the room not far from you. I could hear what sounded like gunshots or commotion. People nearby could smell the gunpowder. Everybody hit the floor,” O’Donnell said. “How worried were you that there were going to be injuries?” “I wasn’t worried. I understand life,” Trump said matter-of-factly. “We live in a crazy world.” The president later said he wasn’t as worked up as you’d expect during the shooting because, “I have been through this a couple of times.” Trump was obviously referring to the previous assassination attempts against him, including the 2024 attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania where a bullet hit his ear before killing firefighter Corey Comperatore. O’Donnell then asked Trump about the look of terror that was captured on First Lady Melania Trump’s face. “She looked very alarmed. Was she scared?” O’Donnell asked. “I don’t want to say, and people don’t like having it said that they were scared. But who wouldn’t be when you have a situation like that?” Trump said. He continued, “I think she realized ahead of time that it was more of a bullet than it was a tray [dropping]. I looked at her face just a little while ago before I came [on the show], I saw the scene. They played it for me, pretty good close-up. She looked very upset about what just took place. Why not?” That image — which you can see below — has already become a bit of a meme on social media.

We talked about crime, I am very strong on crime. It seems like the press isn’t,” Trump said. “It’s not so much the press, but the press plus the Democrats. It’s almost like they are one and the same.” O’Donnell then brought up the gunman’s manifesto calling it a “stunning thing to read.” “He appears to reference a motive,” O’Donnell said. “In it, he writes this: quote, ‘Administrative officials, they are targets.’ He also wrote this: ‘I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.’ What’s your reaction to that?” “Well, I was waiting for you to read that, because I knew you would. Because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” Trump spat. “Yeah, he did write that. I am not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.” “Oh, do you think he was referring to you?” O’Donnell asked. “Excuse me. Excuse me. I am not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick person,” Trump continued. “I got associated with all stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, let’s say, Epstein or other things.” Trump added, “But I said to myself, you know, I’ll do this interview and they’ll probably — I read the manifesto. It was a sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself reading that, because I’m not any of those things. And I was never —” “Mr. President, these are the words the gunman,” O’Donnell interrupted. “Excuse me. Excuse me,” Trump said. “You shouldn’t be reading that on 60 minutes. You’re a disgrace. But go ahead, let’s finish the interview.” Watch the clip above via CBS News’s 60 Minutes.The post Trump Brands Norah O’Donnell a ‘Disgrace’ After She Reads Part of WHCD Shooter’s Manifesto on Targeting a ‘Pedophile’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘The NFL Should Sign Him Up’: Trump Marvels at Speed of WHC Dinner Shooter o...President Donald Trump told 60 Minutes he was shocked at how fast the shooter at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner ran during his attempted killing spree, with Trump saying he looked like a “blur” on the security footage. “I think the NFL should sign him up,” Trump said on Sunday. “He was fast.” Trump’s remark came after correspondent Norah O’Donnell asked him how the gunman was able to “get that close.” The president defended law enforcement and the venue security at the Hilton in Washington, D.C., saying it was easier said than done to block the shooter from attempting to dart into the event. The security footage showed the shooter racing past the venue’s metal detector and several security guards. “I’m a big fan of the people of law enforcement, and some of these people — they may be crazy, but they are not stupid, and they figure things out,” He ran 45 yards, they say. He just went to it and then boom, popped through.” Trump continued, “when you look at it on tape, it’s almost like a blur. But it was amazing, because as soon as they saw that, you could see them draw their guns. They were so professional.” You can watch the footage Trump described below: pic.twitter.com/zcgVgZivwD — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) April 26, 2026 Cole Tomas Allen — the 31-year-old suspected shooter — appeared to have been motivated by conspiracy theories about Trump and Jeffrey Epstein; he wrote in his manifesto that Trump was a “pedophile” and “rapist” who needed to be killed. While Trump was complimentary of his speed, he said Allen was “probably a pretty sick guy.” Trump said the manifesto showed Allen had been radicalized and held “anti-Christian” beliefs; he also said Allen’s siblings had complained to police about him being a threat to society. Those comments echoed what Trump said at a press conference late on Saturday night, where he said it was obvious Allen was “sick” and a “thug.” Watch above via CBS.The post ‘The NFL Should Sign Him Up’: Trump Marvels at Speed of WHC Dinner Shooter on Security Footage first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘I Wanted To See What Was Going On’: Trump Tells 60 Minutes He Held Up Secre...President Donald Trump said he “wasn’t making it that easy” for Secret Service to rush him out of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner during the frenzied moment a man tried to storm the event and murder him and members of his administration during an interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday. Why? The president said “I wanted to see what was going on.” Correspondent Norah O’Donnell noted it took 10 seconds for Secret Service to flank Trump and 20 seconds to get him off the stage. “It looked chaotic, at one point you were down,” O’Donnell said. “What was happening?” Trump said he was surrounded by “great people” and “probably made them act a little more slowly” than normal. “Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me see. Wait a minute,” Trump said he told his security team. He then said he started to walk out in a “pretty tall [stance], a little bent over, you know, because I’m not looking to stand too tall,” before finally hitting the ground when Secret Service insisted he do so. The president discussed the latest assassination attempt against him in a last-minute interview on Sunday, the day after the shooting. Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt — who is nine months pregnant — were rushed to safety just minutes after the event started. It was going to be Trump’s first WHC Dinner since becoming president. Cole Tomas Allen — the 31-year-old suspected shooter — appeared to have been motivated by conspiracy theories about Trump and Jeffrey Epstein; he wrote in his manifesto that Trump was a “pedophile” and “rapist” who needed to be killed. The 60 Minutes account shared a teaser clip of Trump’s interview on X on Sunday evening. Watch above via CBS.

- ‘They Were Shouting Kill Trump?’ CNN Host Questions Panelist’s Claim About...CNN host Kasie Hunt questioned former Trump adviser David Urban’s claim about protesters allegedly holding signs that said “Kill Trump” outside the Washington Hilton Hotel Saturday night. The hotel was the scene of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where a shooter opened fire in the lobby. President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), and a variety of lawmakers and Trump officials were all evacuated without incident. “You know, I think we also need to just talk about the fact that, you know, political violence continues to grow,” Urban said Sunday. “We’ve had, now, this is the third attempt now, presumably, on this president’s life. You know, what about that? When I was leaving the hotel, there were actually protesters with cardboard signs basically saying, ‘Kill Trump,’ right? I mean, unbelievably standing outside, like shouting like, you know, ‘Kill Donald Trump.’ “They were shouting ‘Kill Trump?'” asked an incredulous Hunt, causing Urban to backtrack. “Well, no, they had the signs,” Urban said. “I can’t remember exactly who they were, but they were terrible, terrible human beings.” According to Fox News Digital, “Around 75 protesters were spotted outside the Washington Hilton on Saturday night, protesting the war in Iran during the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner.” On the Fox clip, the protesters could be heard chanting, “Shame!” Urban continued, “I mean, there’s sick people out there, sick individuals. And it seems to be focused, you know, on Donald Trump. This isn’t a whataboutism thing. This is, the Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. And in this case, you see it time and time again played out, right? I mean, how many attempts are there on Barack Obama’s life? Republicans don’t love Barack Obama. I think probably none. How many attempts are there on Joe Biden’s life? Republicans don’t like Joe Biden. None. Again, this is the third attempt on Donald Trump’s life. There’s got to be something about it.” “It is not an exclusively a left-wing problem,” Hunt said. She continued, “I do think it is important to underscore…President Obama saw an unprecedented number of threats directed at him on his life for very difficult and horrible reasons. And it was an elevation in threat that we had not seen until he took office.” Watch the clip above via CNN.The post ‘They Were Shouting Kill Trump?’ CNN Host Questions Panelist’s Claim About Protesters Outside WHCD first… [TheTopNews] Read More.10 hours ago
