🚨🚨 CBS Reporter Claims PTSD from Trump Assassination Attempt. You Won’t Believe Why.

Anyone who attended last year’s infamous Butler Trump rally has good reason to be scarred. Experiencing that level of chaos while grappling with the possibility of losing your life can change a person. So can witnessing multiple people taking bullets.

CBS News reporter Scott MacFarlane was there for the tragedy, and he’s haunted by the kind of trauma we just described. But not for a reason you may expect.

“It wasn't the shooting, Chuck. This was – I got diagnosed with PTSD within XX hours. I got put on trauma leave, not because, I think, of the shooting, but because you saw it in the eyes, the reaction of the people,” he said in a Wednesday interview. “They were coming for us. If [Trump] didn't jump up with his fist, they were going to come kill us!"

Got that? Donald Trump got shot in the head. Corey Comperatore died shielding his family. But MacFarlane has to make it all about him. What a perfect representation of America’s media.
