This post is bait, but for anyone passing through, afterwards he told people he rushed to pick them up because he was worried that if anyone else did there might be violence. Being concerned that your ally is so trigger happy that they would be glad to have reporters assaulted just for daring to get close to help them does not make anyone look good, but he was legitimately concerned for people’s safety. That’s the kind of leader we should be looking for. Not someone who’s obsessed with posturing and would not help on the chance it makes them look weak.
