So, Bernstein is also calling for the assassination of the President, hmmm?  While he may not be using the specific language as his less-intelligent media madmen/women, he is calling for it just as surely as those wanting to "blow up the White House", or Johnny Depp's saying it's time for another actor to kill the president, or Snoop Dog's video showing Trump getting shot, or the play in the New York park, or British reporter Monisha Rajesh tweeting how "it's about time for a presidential assassination".  
How, you may ask?  
With what do we associate the word "malignant"?  Cancer.  What do we want to do with cancer?  Kill it.  It's just that simple, and it's just that evil, even when coming from a supposed learned and respected journalist.
