It’s all about them.
CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane claimed on Wednesday that he sustained Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
On “The Chuck Toddcast” podcast, Macfarlane said that had Trump not jumped up triumphantly after getting shot in his right ear, the crowd would have murdered members of the media who were covering the rally, claiming that Trump supporters blamed the press for the assassination attempt and were looking to “kill” reporters.“For those of us there, it was such a horror because you saw an emerging America. And it wasn’t the shooting, Chuck. I got diagnosed with PTSD within 48 hours,” MacFarlane said. “I got put on trauma leave. Not because, I think, of the shooting, but because you could—you saw it in the eyes, the reaction of the people. They were coming for us. If he didn’t jump up with his fist, they were going to come kill us!”
MacFarlane said other members of the media who were present that day shared the same sentiment.
“Many of us on press row, as we talked about this on our text chains for weeks after, were quite confident we’d be dead if he didn’t get back up,” said MacFarlane, according to the Daily Caller. “There was a subset—not everybody—there’s dozens of people in the crowd who started coming for us, saying, ‘You did this. This is your fault. You caused this. You killed him.’ And they’re going to beat us with their hands.”
Poor Scott.
This is the same fucking media that drew a target on President Trump the day he came down the escalator in 2015 to announce his candidacy.
Not to mention their smears and calls for violence against him and his supporters.
If we went after MacFarlane the way he and his ilk have gone after Trump, he would have a reason to be scared.
