This is the moment that Donald Trump threatens an ABC reporter after they asked about free speech. Speaking with ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl on Tuesday (16 September), the president appeared to become annoyed after the reporter asked him about Pam Bondi’s crackdown on “hate speech”. “A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech,” Mr Karl said, to which Mr Trump responded: “She’d probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. It’s hate. You have a lot of hate in your heart.” After slamming ABC, the president claimed that he “wants everything to be fair” and placed blame with the “radical left who have done tremendous damage to the country”.

      Well, it looked like they were recording and reporting it.

        Sure, but where is the general outcry and black headlines?

          Language like “Trump Threatens”? It’s right there.

      Did you want them to dive across the resolute desk and beat him up? What exactly were you wanting the unarmed reporters to do here?

            To a very limited audience. And one that would be surprised if it was different in the first place.

              The reporters didn’t post it here to Lemmy (assuming that’s the small audience). It’s on their website and they likely syndicated it across all kinds of platforms (such as Apple News, Google News, etc).
