A Democrat caller told C-SPAN this weekend suggested that the murder of a black supporter of President Trump should serve as a warning to Trump supporters and federal agents.
Bernell Trammell was gunned down in Milwaukee outside of his office.
“This morning a Trump supporter was killed. Was shot and killed in a drive-by in Milwaukee. I don’t know if you got that news,” the caller said. “But the people in Milwaukee are waiting for those troops to come in because they got weapons and there’s gonna be a lot of bloodshed when they come. So that’s all I got to say.”
Trump supporter Boris Epshteyn was stunned by the threat.
“What’s that supposed to mean? Now you have people on our air threatening our lives,” he said.
Instead of addressing the issue, the C-SPAN anchor ignored the threat.
Let’s go to Chris,” the anchor said.
Epshteyn objected and interrupted the host.
“You just had a caller who said shooting Trump supporters is right,” he said. “Anybody who is a Democrat or an Independent should listen to what that gentlemen just said and realize where the Democrats are in this country.”
