After his arraignment in Miami yesterday, former President Trump held a rally and here's a little of what he had to say:
Trump also attacked President Biden at length, accusing Biden of sticking the Justice Department on him. The White House has repeatedly said that it is remaining independent of the Justice Department. “This is called election interference in yet another attempt to rig and steal a presidential election,” Trump said.
Trump again attacked special counsel Jack Smith during his remarks to supporters, calling him a “deranged lunatic.” “The prosecutor in the case, I will call our case, is a thug. I have named him 'deranged Jack Smith.' I wonder what his name used to be,” Trump said, baselessly suggesting Smith has changed his name.
Does that kind of rhetoric seem worthy of a "trigger warning"?
Apparently PBS is now putting warning labels on Trump's speeches as if the indicted GOP presidential candidate is a super-toxic pack of cigarettes.
Considering the rhetoric that's come from so many others in politics these last few years, this is just the cherry on top of the media's sundae of shame:
This is what PBS posted on their chyron during Trumps speech! Ridiculous and offensive! pic.twitter.com/seqPnOUeGJ

The PBS chyron said the following: “EXPERTS WARN THAT INFLAMMATORY RHETORIC FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS OR PEOPLE IN POWER CAN PROMPT INDIVIDUAL ACTORS TO COMMIT ACTS OF VIOLENCE.”
Wow, the safe spaces at PBS headquarters must have been packed shoulder to shoulder during Trump's post-arraignment speech!
Taxpayer funded PBS goes full PRAVDA

Naturally a PBS-style warning wasn't deemed necessary when Biden delivered one of the most divisive speeches in American history from a U.S. president. The backdrop said it all:
When Biden claimed many Republicans were no better than Jim Crow-era racists there were no warning labels from the media.
When Hillary Clinton said half of Trump's supporters were in a "basket of deplorables" there were no "this could lead to violence" warning labels from the media.
It's only "hate" when a Republican makes a point about what the Democrats are up to.
Rest assured many other "news" outlets will take a cue from PBS and air warnings whenever showing a Trump speech. "Journalism" is officially dead.
