NBC's Lester Holt Faces Backlash Over Comments on Trump Assassination Attempt in Springfield, Ohio
Sep 16, 2024, 12:23 AM
NBC's Lester Holt reported on an apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, linking it to increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail. Holt mentioned that Trump and his running mate JD Vance have been making baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, which has resulted in bomb threats. This report has sparked significant backlash, with many calling for Holt's resignation and criticizing him for allegedly blaming Trump for the attempt on his life. Trump has nearly been assassinated twice now, with some attributing the incidents to his rhetoric on the illegal migrant crisis.
