A third assassination attempt against President Trump took place this weekend at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Glenn goes into the latest assassination attempt, how the accused would-be assassin turned from “teacher of the year” into a radical extremist, and how society has gotten to this point. Host of “Katie Pavlich Tonight” Katie Pavlich joins to discuss what she experienced as she was attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where President Trump and his Cabinet were targets. Glenn explains why he believes the latest would-be assassin became the type of person who would assassinate the sitting president. Washington Examiner national political reporter Salena Zito joins to discuss the comparisons between the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt and this latest attempt.
