On Friday's episode of C-SPAN, a caller threatened Don Lemon and Brian Stelter on the air.
The caller identified themself as "Don from State College, Pennsylvania." He called in to express his support of Trump's anti-media rhetoric. He said,
"It all started when Trump got elected. [Stelter and Lemon] don't even know us. They don't even know these Americans out here and they're calling us racist because we voted for Trump.They started the war. If I see 'em, I'm going to shoot 'em. Bye,"
Brian Stetler tweeted about the incident and included a recording of the phone call.
