Everyone has their own sense of humor, right? Then would it be okay to think that New York Times columnist, Ross Douthat, was being insensitive with a joke poking fun at Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign by saying it will end by assassination?
Since then Douthat has deleted his tweet, and has apologized. Angry followers had left comments like, “You’re making fucking assassination jokes?” “Imagine if you made this joke about President Obama. What is wrong with you?”
But what Douthat is referring too is as true as it gets.
Trump is the target of a great number of death threats. Since October of last year, at every public appearance, Trump has worn a bullet proof vest.
The threats come from all over. Drug lord El Chapo placed a $100 million bounty on Trump’s head, while tweeter’s posed their threats after Trump made controversial comments on Muslim immigration.
To give his tweet some substance, Douthat links a video clip of the 1983 movie ‘The Dead Zone’, which is what had many other people outraged about the tweet. So what was Douthat really trying to say? Is he warning us, or does he hope Trump gets slain?
Find out on page two, and take a look at the video.
Now it’s a joke
Liberal POS morons get rid of this filthy scumbag. NYT a filthy rag.
Hey, do go pissing off Hillary’s supporters or they may organize into a new “ChiRaq”
Is that what this country is coming to now? Disgusting n appalling !
Sure do wish this idiotic reporter would have done something constructive…like report on sanctuary city crime as I live in one. Had to have snipers on my roof, lunch vendor was busted as he was an illegal running drugs from Mexico…among other things. Are reporters all liars and unintelligent I wonder?
Arrest him
IGNORANT..
That man needs to be fired for he has just stated someone should do this. This is abhorrent from any one in the media and I can not believe anyone would think this way let alone write it. FIRE HIM NOW….
There is absolutely nothing funny about assassination. This jerk was very unprofessional and irresponsible ! Same for the New Jerk Times !
Now the NYT is advocating assassinations. He should be arrested for threatening a life. If it were hillary or anyother democrat, they would be in jail by now.
