Meanwhile the biggest news story of the week is NOT covered by any mainstream outlet that remains fully vested in the "horserace" narrative. Trump yesterday at the Moms for Liberty Rally, rails against the press and CNN's treatment of Kamala. An angry man climbs the fence of the media gallery and attacks the press pool. Is tased by security and is led out of the arena. That isn't the story -- as the event unfolds, Trump defends him "he's one of us, he's one of us" and compares him to a Jan 6 hero, and goes on a tangent about their movement being blessed by god. In the video, the crowd goes nuts "rage defending" the man -- the whole place looks like it's going to explode. And Trump goads them on, claiming the incident is part of the fun of going to a Trump rally. This is a sign of what's to come -- for the free press and peace as we know it. https://www.yahoo.com/news/man-storms-press-gallery-trump-032253765.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall
