Report: Hot Mic Caught Journalists Joking About Donald Trump Assassination

Kristina Wong 9 Jan 2024

A hot mic caught journalists joking about former President Donald Trump being assassinated as they waited for him to arrive at the federal courthouse in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, according to a report.

According to Mediaite, cameras were set up waiting for Trump’s arrival and caught the journalists joking about getting a good video shot of Trump but then referencing late President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. According to the outlet, the journalists said:

    JOURNO 1: You know what the worst part is? Even if he has his window open and he’s hanging out of it, he will be on the other side of the street.

    JOURNO 2: I mean, if he’s driving, we’ve got a good shot!

    JOURNO 1: Yeah, if he’s driving with the front window open?

    JOURNO 2: Yeah, or if it’s a convertible?

    JOURNO 1: Yeah. I wasn’t thinking about that.

    JOURNO 2: Yeah. Like if he just pulls up–

    JOURNO 1: Like JFK?

    JOURNO 2: (laughs)

    JOURNO 1: Maybe someone, just like they told JFK, “You know what you should do? You should take a convertible! It’s so nice out!”

A three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments Tuesday on whether Trump has presidential immunity from prosecution on charges of attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

 Reporters at the courthouse caught rooting for a JFK-style Trump assassination.
If you can't beat him, delete him.

Hmm - this was posted at the Twitter account of @EndWokeness, but it disappeared. Apparently it was audio of these jackass reporters.

Not a new concept by the left wing media....

This graphic popped on the CBS Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn in August 2000.

I think a lot of people are very concerned that the hateful rhetoric towards Trump, will empower a zealot to do just that. They go on TV daily to spew their hateful thoughts, telling people that Trump must be stopped. They don’t even hide it anymore.

I would think the FBI swat team is immediately raiding their house, capturing their weapons, computers, and phones, and placing them on the no-fly list or does that not count if it’s Trump?

Trump is not president anymore but would that kind of threat trigger a visit from the Secret Service, even though he’s no longer president?

It should. He's still under USSS protection, isn't he?
