The career of this "journalist" should end right now, but we all know nothing will be done to him. Libs are allowed to call for assassination of conservatives.
NY Times Columnist Jokes About Assassination Attempt Ending Trump’s Campaign
feb 25 2016 New York Times columnist Ross Douthat caused outrage after he joked about how an assassination attempt could end Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
“Good news guys I’ve figured out how the Trump campaign ends,” Douthat tweeted last night.
Good news guys I've figured out how the Trump campaign ends:The Dead Zone (10/10) Movie CLIP - Thwarted Assassination (1983) HD
— Ross Douthat (@DouthatNYT) February 24, 2016
The tweet links to a video clip from the 1983 movie The Dead Zone, which features a character played by Christopher Walken attempting to gun down a political figure played by Martin Sheen.
In the plot, Walken’s character tries to kill the US Senatorial candidate (played by Sheen) because he has visions of him becoming president in the future and starting a nuclear war. Sheen’s character holds up his baby as a human shield during the assassination attempt, destroying his credibility.
While joking about an assassination attempt on any public figure is crass, it’s particularly relevant with Trump because he faces a very real threat of being targeted.
