ABC’s Vega: Trump’s Statements About Media Were ‘Incitement, Plain and Simple’

On Wednesday’s broadcast of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Cecilia Vega stated President Trump’s statements about the media at his rally in Phoenix the night before were incitement.

Vega said, “Well George, this was incitement, plain and simple. I turned my cell phone camera on the crowd just so you could see the reaction there as we were on the stage. That’s what it looks like when the president turned the crowd — turns the crowd on you. The president said that journalists hate this country. That’s what he told this crowd. This was an assault that went on and on and on. And, George, I’ve got to tell you, this one felt different. It really feels like a matter of time, frankly, before someone gets hurt.”
