Donald Trump Jr.s response to the congressional baseball shooting

Donald Trump Jr.’s response to the congressional baseball shooting

The president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., on Twitter highlighted another user’s tweet that said, “Events like today are EXACTLY why we took issue with NY elites glorifying the assassination of our President,” soon after shots were fired at Republican congressmen during a baseball practice.

Though television personality Harlan Z. Hill didn’t point to specific examples, within the last month two artistic works have drawn criticism for imagined violence against Trump. In May, comedian Kathy Griffin apologized for a photo where she held a mask of a bloody, severed Trump head after a major backlash where CNN cut ties with her. More recently, a production of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” depicted a Trump-like figure who was assassinated.

I am comforted, however, by a strong sense that he will do a long stint in prison someday.
