**Unbelievable: Mainstream Media Blames Trump Supporters for PTSD Following Assassination Attempt**
In a stunning display of misinformation and victimhood, CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane has laid an inappropriate claim regarding his mental health struggles following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
During an interview with former NBC host Chuck Todd, MacFarlane told an incredulous story in which he attributed his post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosis not to the shooting itself but rather to what he accused were the fearful, irrational reactions of Trump supporters.
MacFarlane, who has been in the news for his reporting on the incident, stated that his trauma stemmed from witnessing an "emerging America"—one where supporters of the former president allegedly sought to harm members of the press.
“Those of us there, it was such a horror… I got diagnosed with PTSD within 48 hours," he recounted.
According to MacFarlane, he and his colleagues faced threats and disdain from the crowd, who he claims blamed them for the assassination attempt. He painted a picture of reporters being targeted, claiming, “If [Trump] didn’t jump up with his fist, they were going to come kill us!”
The media’s reaction to the attempt on Trump's life—which saw the former president miraculously evade danger after being shot at multiple times—has been disproportionate and overtly sensationalized. Critics have noted that turning the focus onto the audience's response instead of the severity of the attack seems to minimize the real threat to Trump and the lives of those around him.
During the interview, MacFarlane went on to express concerns over the irrationality surrounding the current American landscape, drawing dubious parallels between this incident and the events of January 6. He suggested that the hostile sentiment emerging from Trump supporters poses a profound concern for the future of democracy.
The attempted assassination of Donald Trump is a serious matter and should not be shrouded in narrative that seeks to vilify his supporters.
As President Trump reflected on the traumatic event, he emphasized his belief that divine intervention spared him, stating, "I remain firm in my conviction that God alone saved me that day for a righteous purpose: to restore our beloved Republic to greatness."
In an era where rational discourse is increasingly absent from public life, it is crucial to spotlight the resilience of those committed to preserving American values amid unfounded accusations and media narratives that divert attention from real threats.
The events surrounding the assassination attempt on President Trump highlight not only the perils facing political figures in our divided nation but also serve as a reminder of the fortitude required to navigate such turbulent times.
