Comcast NBCUniversal’s Sky News reacted to the assassination attempt against former President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, by questioning whether the America First leader has changed “the rules of engagement” in politics.
One of Britain’s leading news broadcasters, Sky published the article ‘Nothing justifies an assassination bid – but did Trump play a part in changing the rules of engagement?’ within hours of the shooting, which injured President Trump and left at least one of his supporters dead.
U.S. correspondent James Matthews said Trump had “joked about the brutal assault on the husband of former Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi” and “downplay[ed] a kidnap plot against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer“—which turned out to have been orchestrated in large part by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) plants and informants.
Matthews claimed Joe Biden and the Democrats responded to the assassination attempt with “benevolence”—making no mention of the fact that the 81-year-old incumbent had been fearmongering about Trump’s supposed plans to become a “dictator” shortly before the attack.
Sky News also expressed shock that the shooting was able to take place, suggesting the “agents charged with Donald Trump’s protection, Secret Service or otherwise, face a grilling on a failure in the fundamentals of the job.”
