Hours after former President Donald Trump narrowly avoided a second assassination attempt, NBC News’ Lester Holt fanned the flames of violence by blaming Trump’s “rhetoric” rather than the suspected would-be assassin, who once praised Holt.
United States Secret Service agents fired shots at a man on Sunday after they discovered him allegedly staked out in a bush at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach armed with a scoped “AK-47-style rifle.” A suspect was later apprehended by authorities and remains in custody.
