VisitNBC's Lester Holt Links Trump, JD Vance to September 15 Assassination Attempt
Sep 16, 2024, 12:11 AM
NBC News anchor Lester Holt suggested that former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance are partially responsible for an apparent assassination attempt on Trump on September 15. Holt indicated that the attempt is linked to the increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail, specifically pointing to Trump and Vance's baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. This rhetoric has reportedly resulted in bomb threats. The incident has sparked significant backlash, with some accusing the media of inciting violence against Trump, who has nearly been assassinated twice.
