Baker went on to say that Trump&rsquo;s campaign rhetoric about the migrants, who have also <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/10\/flood-of-more-than-20000-haitian-migrants-wreaks-havoc-in-ohio-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">overwhelmed local public resources<\/a>, &ldquo;seems to have provoked some sort of reaction.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The &ldquo;reaction&rdquo; Baker referenced was a series of hoax bomb threats that originated overseas, according to Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, who <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/greg_price11\/status\/1835777987754569960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">suggested<\/a> they were intended to agitate the election. In other words, Baker may have very well been spreading foreign propaganda intended to interfere in U.S. elections. Nevertheless, Baker said it&rsquo;s Haitian migrants who are &ldquo;feeling particularly threatened&rdquo; at the moment and that the fear &ldquo;comes back to Trump, actually.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Barbaro took his cue from there: &ldquo;Right, in some sense Trump is the through-line in this new era of political violence,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;But that&rsquo;s a pretty complicated equation to think about&hellip; This idea that Trump has at times inspired political violence through his rhetoric. We know that.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/leftists-persist-with-violent-rhetoric-following-trump-shooting\/\" title=\"Leftists persist with violent rhetoric following Trump shooting\">political violence&#038;rdquo<\/a>; Barbaro referenced was of course the single riot within the last decade that government-amplified media have chosen to condemn&mdash;&nbsp;Jan. 6, 2021, in which the only gunshot fired was from a cop at an unarmed Trump supporter he struck in the neck and killed.<\/p>\n<p>Baker agreed, adding that Trump &ldquo;has elevated the temperature in our society to the point where therefore politics is an existential fight and it&rsquo;s not just enough to have a debate&hellip; He inspires such anger at himself because of the way he is&nbsp;&ldquo;<\/p>\n<p>To recap, in an episode of the Times&rsquo; flagship podcast that was nominally about a second assassination attempt against a former president who is campaigning for president again, the two reporters were rehashing Jan. 6, 2021 and attempting to diminish a legitimate controversy in a region of the country critical to the outcome of the election. To them, the only apparent problem in Springfield is that Trump is scaring the migrants Kamala Harris dumped on the town.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nice!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To be sure, Baker admitted that Democrats&rsquo; rhetoric, including from Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, is &ldquo;pretty strong.&rdquo; (That&rsquo;s when they&rsquo;re not criminally prosecuting him, I&rsquo;d add.) But, he said, Trump is so much worse, of course.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He doesn&rsquo;t seem to have any compunctions about using language like that against them and in fact, he&rsquo;s used much worse,&rdquo; Baker said. &ldquo;He has over the years directly encouraged beating up protesters or hecklers at his rallies, shooting unarmed people like looters or immigrants.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>Setting aside that it&rsquo;s perfectly legal in some cases to shoot looters and immigrants, if a TV anchor gets to determine whether Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/trump-2020-loss-sarcastic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">is speaking sarcastically<\/a>, then I&rsquo;m more than qualified to determine whether he&rsquo;s joking, and Trump was definitely joking when he &ldquo;encouraged&rdquo; assaulting the hecklers at his rallies.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats have called Trump an existential threat to democracy, taken his economic &ldquo;bloodbath&rdquo; remark <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/03\/18\/trumps-bloodbath-is-the-fake-news-medias-latest-hysterics-over-guy-and-sir\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">out of context<\/a> to make it seem violent, and likened him to Adolf Hitler every hour on the hour for nearly a decade. But, Baker said, Trump &ldquo;has gone much further than the language he complains about Democrats using in his own rhetoric.&rdquo; So, again, it&rsquo;s Trump&rsquo;s fault he was twice nearly murdered in broad daylight.<\/p>\n<p>If the price to pay for running for president as a Republican is constantly worrying you&rsquo;re about to be taken out, and the media blame you for it, that&rsquo;s the definition of encouraging and justifying future violence. FBI?<\/p>\n<hr><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FBI might want to visit the residences of New York Times journalists Michael Barbaro and Peter Baker due to their recent comments about Donald Trump, which could potentially provoke further violence against him. Just two days have passed since Trump narrowly escaped another assassination attempt, marking the second such incident in as many months, yet the national media continues to hold him responsible for these threats. On a recent episode of &#8220;The Daily&#8221; podcast, Barbaro and Baker claimed that nearly all future political violence can be traced back to Trump, regardless of the assailant&#8217;s political affiliation.<\/p>\n<p>Barbaro questioned whether the U.S. has entered a new era of political violence centered around Trump. Baker responded by referencing his own article titled &#8220;Trump, Outrage and the Modern Era of Political Violence.&#8221; He quickly shifted focus to a controversy involving migrants in Springfield, Ohio\u2014an issue highlighted by Trump&#8217;s campaign but dismissed by mainstream media as unfounded despite eyewitness accounts supporting it. Baker stated that Trump&#8217;s claims about immigrants harming pets were untrue and lacked evidence.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is documented evidence from local law enforcement regarding migrants with dead geese. Baker suggested that Trump&#8217;s rhetoric regarding these migrants has sparked some form of reaction\u2014a reference he made to hoax bomb threats linked overseas that Ohio&#8217;s Republican Governor Mike DeWine indicated were meant to disrupt elections. Despite this context, Baker asserted that Haitian migrants currently feel particularly threatened due to Trump&#8217;s influence.<\/p>\n<p>Barbaro agreed with this perspective: \u201cIn some sense Trump is the through-line in this new era of political violence,\u201d he noted while acknowledging how Trump&#8217;s rhetoric has inspired such actions historically\u2014specifically referencing January 6th as an example where government-backed media have focused their condemnation.<\/p>\n<p>Baker concurred with Barbaro\u2019s assessment and remarked on how Trump has intensified societal tensions so much that politics feels like an existential battle rather than just a debate. In discussing an episode focused on an assassination attempt against a former president campaigning for re-election, both reporters seemed more concerned with downplaying significant issues affecting Springfield than addressing broader implications.<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging strong rhetoric from Democrats like Kamala Harris and Joe Biden (especially when not prosecuting him), Baker insisted that Trump&#8217;s language is far worse; he accused Trump of inciting violence against protesters at his rallies over time.<\/p>\n<p>Despite legal nuances surrounding self-defense against looters or immigrants being overlooked here\u2014and while it&#8217;s debatable whether Trump&#8217;s comments were serious or sarcastic\u2014Baker maintained that Trump\u2019s words are more dangerous than those used by Democrats over nearly ten years where they\u2019ve labeled him an existential threat multiple times without consequence.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately suggesting it\u2019s somehow Trump&#8217;s fault for facing life-threatening situations twice raises concerns about how running for president as a Republican comes with constant fears for personal safety while simultaneously being blamed by media outlets\u2014a situation which could encourage future acts of violence<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":493,"featured_media":2342363,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ryan-Routh.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[6430,5591,32311,15823,3699],"class_list":["post-2342362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-anti-trump","tag-fbi","tag-free-speech","tag-nyt","tag-violence"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ryan-Routh.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/493"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2342362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2342363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2342362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2342362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2342362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
