On Tuesday morning, CNN’s Brian Stelter, appearing as a guest with CNN hosts Alisyn Camerota and John Berman, ripped Fox News’ hosts and President Trump as the cause of the massacre at the Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday, asserting that their language helped trigger the shooter who committed the most deadly attack on Jews in America’s history. Stelter called for Fox News hosts to do some “soul-searching.”
Referencing the Pittsburgh shooter calling migrants “invaders,” Stelter said the shooter was “using the same dehumanizing language that’s been saturating right-wing radio and TV.” Stelter played clips of Fox News’ Laura Ingraham calling the caravan “this invading horde,” Fox News commentator Newt Gingrich saying, “This is an invasion,” and another voice on a Fox News show echoing, “This is an invasion.”
