A political analyst was outraged on Tuesday after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt issued an "abundantly clear" threat to the press during her briefing. Leavitt, who returned early from maternity leave to hold the daily briefing, told reporters about the Trump administration's efforts to "tone down the rhetoric" following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday. At the event, a lone gunman fired several rounds inside the Washington Hilton, where the dinner was held. A Secret Service agent was hit in their bulletproof vest and survived. No one was killed, and the president and members of his cabinet were rushed out of the event unscathed. Leavitt mentioned several groups of people who could be more mindful of the words they choose, such as television and podcast hosts. The latter category caught the attention of David Pakman, a liberal YouTube commentator and host of "The David Pakman Show." "Folks, they are going to come for the podcasts," Pakman said in a new reaction video. "They are going to come for independent media. It is abundantly clear.""What they want is for us to interpret and to assimilate and ... affect our behavior is that criticism of Trump's policies is not going to be seen favorably," Pakman said. "It's not going to be seen as protected speech. If you ... say that you believe the president is bad for the United States, you're inciting violence. Now, what a pathetic special snowflake perspective on speech."
