Sky News host Gabriella Power has slammed CNN for its initial coverage of the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump.

Ms Power said: “If you were following media outlets like CNN today, you would have thought Donald Trump had a fall”.

A breaking CNN article included a headline which read: “Secret Service rushed Trump off stage after he falls at rally”.

“Falls? It was an assassination attempt. He’s not Joe Biden,” Ms Power said.

Ms Power said it was a “devastating day for America” and claimed there was likely to be growing support for the former president, following the attack.
