CBS Journo Who Still Has PTSD From Butler, Pennsylvania Reminds Us About The REAL Victims That Day

Posted • July 17, 2025: It's now been just over one year since this happened in Butler, Pennsylvania: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ejfAkzjEhk —— Shortly after that, many in the media covered the story in their own, predictable, pitiful ways: One year ago. Elite media coverage. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GvwbH-kWcAAw-_Q?format=jpg&name=large —— That's shameful even for those clowns. The real victims of the unhinged shooter that we still don't know a whole lot about were Corey Comperatore, who died, and Trump, along with two others who were hit but survived. But with "journalists" there's often a "how can I make it about me" aspect to any tragic story. CBS News' Scott MacFarlane had a chat with Chuck Todd and told him about the time he did the "journalism" version of storming the beaches at Normandy in Butler, Pa. that day:

🚨 CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane tells Chuck Todd he got "PTSD" after Trump assassination attempt — *NOT* from the shooting, but because the crowd blamed the media. 🚨 "For those of us there, it was such a horror." - "I got diagnosed with PTSD within 48 hours. I got put on trauma leave. Not because, I think, of the shooting, but because you could — you saw it in the eyes, the reaction of the people." - "They were coming for us! If he didn't jump up with his fist, they were going to come kill us!" —— So there we have it: The real victims that day were the journalists. Is MacFarlane at least crediting Trump with saving his life and that of other journos on the scene? But "you could tell by the eyes" what the crowd was going to do to the reporters is the most "journalism" thing ever. These are the same people who, when Trump calls them "the fake news," believe the First Amendment is being shredded and their lives are being threatened. Yep, these hacks have had a long few years.
