April Ryan: I've gotten death threats for asking if Trump considered resigning
Source: The Hill
White House correspondent April Ryan said Wednesday that she has gotten death threats after asking press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders if President Trump had considered resigning.
Ryan, the correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks, said on CNN that those who oppose the president have thought her question was great, while Trumps supporters have been outraged.
Theyre angry. Ive been getting death threats and weve been calling the FBI and I mean, I put one on social media and this is real, Ryan told CNN.
I asked a simple question
I did not point a finger, I asked a question and now my life is in jeopardy because of a question. But Im going to continue to do my job, she continued.

(70,218 posts)Interesting. but not surprising.
The reporter defended asking the question, which came one day after the FBI raided the offices of Trumps personal lawyer Michael Cohen.
Ryan said Wednesday that sources have told her that the possibility of Trump resigning has been on the table.
That is not illogical, irrational. It is a real question on the table, the path [the] White House does not want to deal with because theyre trying to craft the picture, the winning image. And there is no winning picture at this moment, Ryan said.

If market forces can't make money promoting their conservative idiocy, guess what???
THIS is what pisses me off most about them. They scream for 50 years about how the free market should have WAYYY more control than the big, dumb, gubmint, and then when THEY GET WHAT THEY WANT, they complain to anyone that will listen how unfair that is.
