CHRIS CUOMO: We have to care about each other - it is our only bond. We don't have homogeneity. We don't have a common heritage, or even really a culture. What America has is our ability to combine to magnify effect.

...

What really bothers me is the lack of reaction to the second attempt on Trump in the last couple of months. "The guy didn't even shoot." Oh, what if it was your father? Or Kamala Harris? Or President Biden, God forbid? Do you think it would be almost a shoulder shrug and more talk about the Secret Service and the allocation of funds? Rather than just how crazy it is that this is happening in our country?

That reaction of, "Oh well, don't make too much of it." He had an AK-47 pointed at him! The reaction is unacceptable. And it is the second time media and political figures have gotten away with playing down what should have been a cause for panic.

...

I called him today because I am ashamed of how we are responding and not responding to the threats on him, and I feel for his family. You can roll your eyes and say he asked for it... but we've got to get out of the judgment business unless it is judging ourselves.

I gotta tell you, I don't know how he stays in the race. How he got up after being shot in the head... He gets up, pumping his fist, stays in the race, barely even talks about it.

...

That's why I reached out to Trump. I just wanted to say I'm really sorry that this is going on. And it is being dealt with this way.

He doesn't deserve this. A guy pointing an AK-47 at him while he's playing golf -- and we take solace in the fact that the guy didn't get any rounds off? That does not work for me. If I had been through what that guy's been through in the last two months, you would not know where I am. You would never see me on TV again. No way I would do that.

I don't know how he does it. He's got kids, he's got grandkids, he's got a wife. And people are giving crap to Melania Trump worrying about whether or not there was a plot around her husband. How could she not? I don't think she's right, but I totally get why she feels that way and people mock her. And then her husband has a guy pointed with an AK-47. Where are those people apologizing? That's what it's time for.

"I should not have come at you, Melania Trump for suggesting there was more afoot, I get your paranoia. You have a right to that."

There's nothing wrong with saying that, and being a basic, recent human being. It has gotten out of control, too far from where we need to be, and I don't know what to do about it.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday told MSNBC host Rachel Maddow
it is the job of the mainstream media to be objective, but in the sense that they cover the
"object," former President Donald Trump, for "his demagoguery, his danger to our country
and the world."
