A top editor at Reuters apologized on Thursday night after blaming President Trump for the deadly Capital Gazette shooting in a now-deleted tweet that was sent during a āstate of emotional distress,ā but he might still be disciplined by the international news service.
Reuters Breakingviews Editor Rob Cox admitted that he āresponded emotionally and inappropriatelyā after being called out for jumping to conclusions prior to the facts emerging. Police said the suspected gunman, eventually identified as Jarrod W. Ramos, targeted the newspaper after a lengthy feud regarding a 2012 defamation lawsuit.
āThis is what happens when @realDonaldTrump calls journalists the enemy of the people. Blood is on your hands, Mr. President. Save your thoughts and prayers for your empty soul,ā Cox wrote in the deleted tweet, according to TheWrap.
