On Saturday’s edition of Amanpour & Co. on PBS, host Christiane Amanpour introduced journalist Hari Sreenivasan’s segment with UCSD professor Barbara Walter (not to be confused with the late journalist). Despite support for left-wing violence from burning Tesla and Waymo cars by anti-Musk and anti-ICE rioters, despite the anti-Semitic killings and home fire-bombings, the focus was almost entirely on blaming the Republican Party for the violent surge.
Amanpour claimed that “Another feature of the MAGA decade is an alarming rise in political violence,” but at least noted the attempt on Donald Trump’s own life. Sreenivasan mentioned the killing of the two Israeli Embassy workers in D.C. and the attack on the home of Jewish Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, but left out the anti-Semitic motivations.
