John Avlon on 'New Day' Says Political Rhetoric is 'Ratcheting up Threats'

On Friday’s edition of New Day, CNN Chief Political Analyst, John Avlon presented his commentary on the recent Capital Gazette shooting. In his analysis, Avlon appeared to suggest that President Trump’s rhetoric towards the American news media was in some way responsible for the shooting saying, “And this rhetoric, while not directly responsible, is really ratcheting up threats against journalists that we deal with on a daily basis. It is described as an epidemic.”
