New York Times reporter Katie Benner deleted tweets calling for Trump supporters to be considered "enemies of the state" after she faced viral backlash from critics. However, the Times' Justice Department reporter later took down the tweets, claiming they were "unclearly worded." NYT REPORTER SUGGESTS DECLARING TRUMP SUPPORTERS ‘ENEMIES OF THE STATE’ TO COMBAT ‘NATIONAL SECURITY THREATS’Benner explained, "As Americans, we believe that state power should not be used to work against a political figure or a political party. "Absolutely amazing: the New York Times' Justice Department reporter says the US faces an ‘essential natsec dilemma’: namely, that Trump supporters are ‘enemies of the state’ and all of the GOP is a threat to the State. But the fixation on 1/6 is about exactly this: classifying Trump supporters as Enemies of the State for political gain & Security State power."
