Yesterday Donald Trump attacked the integrity of the USA's democratic institutions from a podium in the White House.

Yesterday Steve Bannon called for the murder of Dr Fauci and the head of the FBI.

If you think those two events are unconnected you're still not getting it.
If you're a journalist refusing to name what this is and condemn it you are complicit in what is happening and what is going to happen.

This state of affairs has been media-enabled, every step of the way. You saw it happening and did nothing.
