Trump appears to reframe 'let them hit’ comment during San Antonio rally
During a San Antonio rally, President Trump appeared to reframe his earlier remarks that Iran could "hit" San Diego or Los Angeles, suggesting Iran would only do so if it had nuclear weapons. His comments followed criticism after he told a Nebraska crowd that Iran could "take out" the cities.
What the coverage shows
NBC News is the only outlet here to foreground Trump’s “let them hit” remarks and to frame the story as a reworking of his earlier comments about Iran and U.S. cities. The Hill instead leads with live updates from the San Antonio rally and broader campaign context in Texas, without mentioning the Iran line in its extract. Both outlets place the San Antonio rally at the center, but only NBC News makes the remark the subject of coverage.
