Incitement to violence

The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) on Sunday called on President Trump to denounce a video reportedly shown at a conservative conference that depicts him gunning down media organizations.

WHCA President Jon Karl issued a statement following a New York Times report that said the video was shown at an American Priority even over the weekend at Trump's Doral resort in Miami.

"The WHCA is horrified by a video reportedly shown over the weekend at a political conference organized by the President’s supporters at the Trump National Doral in Miami," Karl said. "All Americans should condemn this depiction of violence directed toward journalists and the President’s political opponents.

"We have previously told the President his rhetoric could incite violence," Karl continued. "Now we call on him and everybody associated with this conference to denounce this video and affirm that violence has no place in our society."

If he didn't denounce Nazis in Charlottesville, it's hard to imagine he's going to actually denounce this. He'll have it running on a loop on one of his bedroom TVs.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him Tweet it like he did the one where he knocked down CNN in a wrestling ring.

The video, which has been uploaded to YouTube and Twitter since The Times first reported on it, is taken from a clip of the film "Kingsman: The Secret Service," and shows Trump's head superimposed on the body of a character going on a violent rampage inside the “Church of Fake News."

He is depicted gunning down and stabbing people with the faces of his critics and media organizations' logos superimposed onto them. Among the outlets featured in the video are Politico, The Washington Post, NPR and The Hill.

Donald Trump, Jr., former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) were among those scheduled to speak at the American Priority conference. The event's organizer denounced the video and said his organization was looking into how it was shown at the event.

President Trump complained about coverage of himself to Fox News Chief Executive Suzanne Scott in a phone call late this summer, The New York Times reported Sunday.

Three people with knowledge of the call told the Times that Trump said on the call that Fox News was not covering him fairly.

Scott reportedly urged Trump to sit for an interview with Bret Baier, the channel’s chief political anchor.

And sent Barr to hound Rupert Murdoch.
