We regard Mr. Borowiec\u2019s comment as inexcusable, and we have ended our relationship with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Borowiec is among some of the other media-types who have fantasized about Trump\u2019s death during this election season. Earlier in the year, NBC producer Matthew Mowrer praised an attempted assassination attempt on Trump after an illegal immigrant\u00a0tried to kill the Republican nominee at a Las Vegas rally.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-extras trending\">\n<div class=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"right mobile-hide\">\n<h4>TRENDING STORIES<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.westernjournalism.com\/assange-wikileaks-alone-defended-first-amendment\/\" data-type=\"Internal link\" data-type-location=\"in-content-trending\">Assange: WikiLeaks Alone Defended The First Amendment<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.westernjournalism.com\/hollywood-panics-as-cnn-says-trump-has-credible-path-to-victory\/\" data-type=\"Internal link\" data-type-location=\"in-content-trending\">Hollywood Panics As CNN Says Trump Has \u2018Credible Path\u2019 To Victory<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.westernjournalism.com\/kellyanne-conway-trump-given-mandate-by-americas-voters\/\" data-type=\"Internal link\" data-type-location=\"in-content-trending\">Kellyanne Conway: Trump Given \u2018Mandate\u2019 By America\u2019s Voters<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt could be argued that the dude who was hoping to assassinate Donald Trump is a good guy with a gun,\u201d Mower tweeted at the time.<\/p>\n<p>The ease in which the media portray Trump as a racist demagogue, which in turn leads to violent acts against him, was pointed out previously by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2016-presidential-race\/2016\/06\/22\/trump-nbc-producer-praises-assassin\/\">Breitbart News.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Left and the establishment Right have jointly and incessantly smeared Trump as a\u00a0racist, sexist, Islamaphobic, demagogue, Hitler, subconsciously Hitler, not Hitler but\u00a0Mussolini,\u00a0and that his working class white supporters along with their communities \u2018deserve to die.\u2019\u00a0Creator of Dilbert and neutral observer of the 2016 presidential race Scott Adams warned that the Hillary Clinton campaign was signaling it\u2019s \u2018morally justifiable to assassinate\u2019 Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.westernjournalism.com\/reporter-who-tweeted-his-hope-that-trumps-life-would-end-receives-a-dose-of-instant-karma\/\">http:\/\/www.westernjournalism.com\/reporter-who-tweeted-his-hope-that-trumps-life-would-end-receives-a-dose-of-instant-karma\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reporter Who Tweeted His Hope That Trump\u2019s \u2018Life Would End\u2019 Receives A Dose Of Instant Karma<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=55954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55954\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=55954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=55954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=55954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
