‘Enough’: Chuck Todd, Megyn Kelly Go Off Over Trump Fan’s Nasty Comment to Reporter

Donald Trump riling up his supporters against the media led to a particularly nasty comment aimed at one reporter that seemed to really set off a lot of media figures.

NBC’s Katy Tur tweeted what happened to her yesterday:

Trump trashes press. Crowd jeers. Guy by press 'pen' looks at us & screams "you're a bitch!" Other gentleman gives cameras the double bird.

Reactions started to come in, very notably from Megyn Kelly and Janice Dean of Fox News:

Enough. Seriously. https://t.co/PT13rqR0pp

This needs to stop. @KatyTurNBC @megynkelly https://t.co/QhG9zdRu58

But Chuck Todd, one of Tur’s NBC colleagues, seemed to get really pissed off by this, not to mention suggestions that it’s the media’s fault for elevating Trump:

The campaign rhetoric needs to be ratcheted back. This is outrageous and dangerous behavior https://t.co/Qi4eAQxkgb

@EnLitendJourney that's my fear

@MaxBoot @HotlineJosh to simply attempt to blame this on the media is naive.

@conncarroll he's the frontrunner for one of the two major party nominations. The GOP leadership needs to look in the mirror first

There's no easier punching bag than the media, but those that simply knee-jerk blame are being intellectually lazy.
