On ABC’s This Week this morning, Martha Raddatz confronted homeland security advisor Tom Bossert over President Trump sharing a fan video of himself literally fighting back against CNN.

Bossert repeatedly talked about how “genuine” Trump is and how he’s able to go around the media to get his message out.

Raddatz said of the new tweet, “That seems like a threat.”

Bossert responded, “I think that no one would perceive that as a threat. I hope they don’t.”

Raddatz pressed again on whether this is a threat, but Bossert again insisted Trump is just “expressing himself genuinely.”
