New York (CNN Business) Several members of the media were shoved and assaulted at President Trump's campaign rally in El Paso, Texas, last week. He singled out The New York Times for its recent reporting about him, calling the newspaper "a true ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!" A.G. Sulzberger, the publisher of The Times, responded on Wednesday by saying "the phrase 'enemy of the people' is not just false, it's dangerous. Trump's newest attack on Wednesday was apparently sparked by a Times investigation into potential obstruction of justice by the president. Sulzberger's statement dealt more broadly with the consequences of Trump's "enemy" rhetoric.
