Trump campaign issues statement after candidate's joke about shooting through fake news in Pennsylvania.

On Sunday at a rally, former President Trump made a joke about shooting "through the fake news." His campaign later issued a clarification.

In Lititz, Pennsylvania, just before Election Day, Trump made a comment about the July 13 assassination attempt while discussing the event.

The Republican candidate pointed to the bulletproof glass surrounding him and said, "I have a piece of glass over here, but I don't have a piece of glass there."

Trump stated, "This is a piece of glass, but all we have here is fake news." He made this comment while addressing the group of journalists present.

To reach me, someone would need to penetrate the false information. I'm not too bothered about that, I joked, and the audience chuckled.

On Sunday, Steven Cheung, the communications director for the Trump campaign, issued a statement asserting that the candidate's comments were not responsible for journalists being injured.

"Cheung stated that President Trump's discussion of the two assassination attempts on his own life, including one that nearly killed him, is a topic that the Media frequently talks and jokes about. However, the President's statement about protective glass placement is not related to the Media's safety or anything else."

The spokesperson stated that Trump's comments were in response to "threats against him that were provoked by harmful language from Democrats."

Cheung stated that President Trump was asserting that the media was endangered because they were safeguarding him, and as a result, they were also in danger, and should have had a protective glass shield.

"It is clear that he had their best interests at heart, more than his own."

Ammar Moussa, the rapid response director for the Harris campaign, accused Trump of breaking the Ninth Commandment in response to his remarks.

"Vice President Harris is the leader that the American people deserve, as he will walk into the Oval Office focused on them, unlike Trump who is spending the closing days of his campaign angry and unhinged, lying about the election being stolen because he's worried he will lose, according to Moussa."

On Sunday, Trump's comments were made during a time when he and Harris were evenly matched in national polls. Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, is predicted to have a significant impact on the Electoral College outcome.

On "Sunday Morning Futures" on Planet Chronicle Channel, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, stated that Sen. Kamala Harris made a significant error by not selecting Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, as her running mate.

"Cruz stated to Bartiromo that Shapiro could have won Pennsylvania for the Democrats, but the pro-Hamas wing of the party couldn't accept such a thing."
