REALLY!? CNN's Brooke Baldwin alarmed by who Trump just called 'sickos,' reality checks ensue

President Trump met today with state and local officials to discuss school safety. Something the president said about school shooters rubbed CNN’s Brooke Baldwin the wrong way:

I wonder how people suffering from mental illness in this country feel about @realDonaldTrump calling them "sickos."

Trump was apparently referencing the types of people who go on murderous rampages:

For a moment, here’s Baldwin’s question being answered with a question:

I wonder how law abiding people who have never hurt anyone in this country feel about all those people on CNN saying the organization they're a part of is a terrorist organization?#tweetsBrookewillnevertweet https://t.co/CddSwZpvAh

CNN personnel might not have enough self-awareness to ask themselves that question.

Idk Brooke. Maybe the same way NRA members feel being called murders. https://t.co/56k7XmjWh0

I wonder why you're defending sickos who set out to shoot a bunch of people. https://t.co/lh6ceKhohi

So you're worried about how we might hurt potential mass shooters' feelings? Isn't that kind of the problem that brought us where we are today? Dumbest observation ever. #CNN getting stupider by the day. https://t.co/khPLkaXnhV
