An employee of German broadcaster ARD, comedian Sebastian Hotz, sparked outrage by calling it "fantastic" possible death of US presidential candidate Donald Trump in an assassination attempt. The newspaper Bild.

Hotz, who is known as El Hotzo and hosts his show on radio station RBB, in connection with the attack on Trump, asked on social networks X the question what does the former president of the United States have in common with the last bus and replied: “Unfortunately, I missed a bit”. “I think it is absolutely fantastic when fascists die,” said Hotz.
His post immediately sparked outrage among social media users. As a result, the comedian deleted the post, but then made a new one in which he claimed that “no one is forcing anyone to sympathize with the Nazis”.
Bundestag Deputy Speaker Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP) opined on X (formerly Twitter) that law enforcement should take up Hotz's statements.
