"I talked to the president last night on my way home to New York, and again, a lion in his heart, extremely gracious, and as he... I would not have been as kind."
"This was not an attack on the press. They were gunning for one person. And the question is, there's a moment of unity right now, but what's going to happen Monday morning?"
"Lawrence is referring to Hasan Piker, that's platformed by a New York Times platform saying that it's okay for social murder to kill a CEO of a healthcare company."
"We saw lots of statements last night from people like Hakeem Jeffries and others that condemned political violence, but didn't say exactly what Lawrence is talking about."
Lawrence Jones addressed the political press regarding their coverage of President Trump following a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. He criticized security measures and urged the media to recognize that the attack was targeted at one individual, not the press. Jones questioned whether the media would continue to inflame tensions and highlighted the importance of responsible reporting. Griff Jenkins supported Jones' points, referencing political violence and the need for clear condemnation from political leaders regarding threats against the president.
