C-SPAN Caller Threatens To Shoot CNN Hosts Brian Stelter And Don Lemon
They started the war. If I see em, Im going to shoot em.

The caller, identified by C-SPAN host Greta Brawner as Don from State College, Pennsylvania, had phoned into her show Friday to express support for Trumps criticism of the media.
It all started when Trump got elected, the caller said before falsely accusing the reporters of labeling all Trump supporters as racist. [Stelter and Lemon) dont even know us. They dont even know these Americans out here and theyre calling us racist because we voted for Trump.
..........
Stelter discussed the threat Sunday on CNN, pointing out that neither Lemon nor he has ever described all Trump supporters as racist. Stelter said he didnt know why the caller felt this way, but noted that Fox News Sean Hannity played a clip during his show Thursday of Stelter asking whether racial anxiety played a factor in Trumps rise.
Obviously, researchers have proven that ― yes ― racial anxiety and resentment was a factor. But thats not the same as calling all Trump supporters racist, Stelter said on Sunday. I dont know if the C-SPAN caller watched Hannity. Im not blaming Hannity. I just thought the timing was odd.
