Trump compares hecklers at North Carolina rally to rioters in Paris
Trump also went on a bizarre tangent about his daughter-in-law Lara Trump’s body while in Greenville Tuesday night
What the coverage shows
All three outlets center on Trump’s North Carolina rally, with The Independent alone foregrounding his comparison of hecklers to rioters in Paris. CNN and PBS NewsHour frame it more generally as a midterm campaign rally in Greenville, with CNN emphasizing the broader rally schedule and live coverage. The Independent’s extract also uniquely mentions a separate tangent about Lara Trump’s body.
