Over the weekend, former Trump administration official Mike Gill succumbed to the gunshot wounds he received during a carjacking in Washington, D.C. last Monday. Gill’s death and the initial carjacking were of no interest to CBS News and their flagship morning and evening newscasts (CBS Mornings and CBS Evening News), despite violent crime skyrocketing in the nation’s capital. And while ABC and NBC did cover those topics, they made sure to object to accusations crime was a major problem in America.
“A former Trump official has died after being shot during a carjacking in Washington, D.C. It's the latest in a string of carjackings in the Capitol City and beyond. Many caught on camera,” announced anchor Kate Snow on Sunday’s NBC Nightly News.
NBC correspondent Jesse Kirsch showed reverence Gill, lamenting that, “Following a violent carjacking spree in and around the nation’s capital, tonight, Washington, D.C. is remembering a community leader.”
