Journalists, human rights groups, and lawmakers found common ground in their reaction to Donald Trump’s latest attack on media outlets who critically who cover his administration. The video the president posted on Twitter over the weekend, showing him tackling and punching the wrestling promoter Vince McMahon with a superimposed CNN logo over McMahon’s face, was met with widespread disbelief and outrage.
The Committee to Protect Journalists quickly released a statement saying, “Targeting individual journalists or media outlets, on or offline, creates a chilling effect and fosters an environment where further harassment or even physical attack is deemed acceptable.”
The group noted that Trump’s video was released just weeks after Representative Greg Gianforte of Montana was recorded assaulting Ben Jacobs, a reporter for The Guardian, a day before Gianforte won his congressional seat.
Kenneth Roth, the executive director of Human Rights Watch, took to Twitter to react to the video.
A number of politicians also tweeted their disapproval.
