"The remark came days after Trump suggested Liz Cheney should “face nine barrels shooting at her.”"
"LITITZ, Pennsylvania — Donald Trump said Sunday that he wouldn’t “mind” if someone had to “shoot through the fake news” to get to him, a further escalation of his violent rhetoric.
The former president, speaking at a rally here about the efforts the Secret Service has taken to protect him after two apparent assassination attempts against him, began pointing out the panes of ballistic glass surrounding him at the outdoor venue.
“All we really have over here is the fake news, right? And to get me somebody would have to shoot through the fake news,” Trump said. “And I don’t mind that so much.”
The comment, which drew laughter from the crowd, was one of several broadsides Trump launched against the press in his rally here. He has long used the media as a foil in his appeals to his base."
