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”.

    Maybe the people should finally go after Trump for ideas like that.

      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?

              The ABC is a national broadcaster. Think BBC but with an A.

              This comment is not an innuendo.

                Did they put this in the news, as the No1 item? Because that’s where it would belong. The non-Murdoch press needs to fight back, but I can’t see them doing it.

              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).

    White man speaks with forked tongue. Why do reporters never push back against these absurd statements? I know they’ll lose ‘access’, but that’s better than losing their integrity.

    Ok, I get it now. There’s a delay on my Trump-to-English translation. “Treated fairly” means “unquestioned.”

    He wants people to stop pointing out problematic shit he says and does.

      Press are unarmed, it’s what gets them a pass into a lot of situations that armed people don’t get to go to.

      It’s sort of a big part of their identity.

        Fundamental aspects of the press need to change or we’ll continue watching them whitewash everything. Plus I wanna see SCOTUS justify gun control for Fox News people in writing.

    If the country was “fixed”/doing awesome, forecasts for 3 fed cuts by December wouldn’t be current. Labour Statistics department head wouldn’t be fired for giving bad news.

    The bigger problem no matter economic health is “our hate speech is free speech. Your/any criticism, or just concern about the right of criticism, is radical left damaging the country”
