Trump Calls Out NYT For Changing Headline After Democrats Went ‘Absolutely Crazy’

Amid a flood of criticism from Democratic presidential candidates and Trump critics, The New York Times changed the initial headline of its front-page story for Tuesday on President Trump’s televised statement responding to the horrific mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio.

In his prepared remarks on Monday, Trump condemned white supremacy and all forms of racial hatred, called for Americans to come together, and urged congressional leaders to work toward bipartisan solutions to help prevent future tragedies. The Times initially gave its coverage of Trump’s speech the headline “TRUMP URGES UNITY VS. RACISM,” as shown in a preview of Tuesday’s edition circulated online. But, as The Daily Wire reported, after a flood of complaints from the Left, including several Democratic presidential hopefuls, the Times altered the headline to “ASSAILING HATE BUT NOT GUNS.”
