Trump Tweet Triggers Media: Wrestling CNN Logo a ‘Threat of Physical Violence’
by Adam Shaw 2 Jul, 2017
As America’s “top” journalists melted down Sunday over President Donald Trump’s tweet of a video of him wrestling the CNN logo, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press took it a step further and called the tweet “a threat of physical violence against journalists” and said it “attacks the people.”
Trump, who has an extended feud with CNN over their biased coverage of his campaign and his presidency, tweeted a meme Sunday of his appearance on WWE’s Wrestlemania in 2007, in which he “beat up” WWE owner Vince McMahon. In the video Trump tweeted, the CNN logo was placed over McMahon’s head. The tweet was accompanied by the caption: #FraudNewsCNN and #FNN [Fake News Network].
