Psaki tells GOP to change programming at convention to ‘restore civility:’ ‘I’m incredibly scared

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki called on the Republican National Committee to overhaul its planned programming for the upcoming convention to avoid “escalating” the country’s rhetoric following the failed assassination attempt against former President Trump.

In an appearance on “Meet the Press” Sunday, Psaki described feeling “scared” in the aftermath of the attempt on former President Trump’s life, echoing other panelists who called for the country to dial down the divisive political rhetoric.

With the Republican National Convention set to begin on Monday, Psaki said the party should adjust the planned speakers and programming to lower the temperature and “restore civility.”
