Joe Concha, Fox News Contributor and author of The Greatest Comeback Ever: Inside Trump's Big Beautiful Campaign, joined The Guy Benson Show today to examine the tragic National Guard shooting in Washington, DC, and the misplaced outrage from mainstream media voices who rushed to blame Trump for deploying the National Guard in the first place. Despite the attack being carried out by a jihadist, many in the media preached that the shooting was merely a consequence of having men and women in uniform deployed. Concha walked through some of the disgusting online commentary attempting to rationalize the killings, and he argued that increasingly unhinged Democratic rhetoric is inflaming tensions nationwide and may even be  inspiring violent actions. Concha also explained why he believes this climate amounts to a "permission slip to violence," especially when paired with Biden's border policies, which Concha says have opened the door to attacks like this. Benson and Concha then discussed Sen. Mark Kelly twisting Trump's asylum pause into a smear about not wanting "brown people" entering the country, and finally, the pair broke down the media's double standard when it comes to Trump's health versus Biden's.
