Donald Trump Jr. blamed last month’s assassination attempt on his father, former President Donald Trump, on the years of animosity fueled by the mainstream media.
Trump Jr. shared these views during an exclusive interview with The Daily Wire on Tuesday, during their live coverage of the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
When asked about the media’s favorable treatment of Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, he remarked that he believes the media—whom he previously referred to as “regime propagandists”—will do everything possible to shield Harris from accountability for as long as they can.
“She’s been the presumptive nominee for basically a month, she has yet to answer any actual questions,” he said. “I think the only interview I saw her doing was with her communist running mate, Tim Walz, where they interviewed themselves. But she’s not taken really any questions from the press, Anything she’s done has been scripted on a teleprompter, and no one in the media even cares. No one’s even saying, ‘Hey, should we maybe actually hear from what will be the actual nominee, but certainly the presumptive nominee?’ And I guess they’re fine just running the same playbook, which is, you know, let’s hide her in the basement. We know she’s not good off-script. She’s not even that good on script, but the more we can keep her from real people, the more we can keep her, you know, on-script and not impromptu, the better it is for us to be able to perpetuate the lie and install the candidate of their choice.”

He labeled the media as “truly embarrassing” and a “disgrace” to the country, criticizing them as hypocritical for branding Republicans as a threat to democracy while failing to hold Harris accountable for her record.
“They seem to be able to run roughshod over all of those things, but again, that’s nothing new,” he said. “They called everyone in the world a fascist, and yet, they’re the ones that want to jail their political opposition. They’re the ones that want to censor and silence them. They are the ones that, you know, ultimately caused an assassination attempt of the leading candidate of the opposition party.”
