Trump Supporter attacked BBC cameraman at rally last night




Just attended my first ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ rally where my colleague BBC cameraman Rob Skeans was attacked by a Trump supporter. The crowd had been whipped up into a frenzy against the media by Trump and other speakers all night #TrumpElPaso

Trump has insulted them, has had the crowd turn on the them. Just wait until someone gets hurt or worse, killed! But GOP will let this pass too!

Israeli company supplies protective gear to journalists covering events in occupied Palestine. I think this would be suitable for all the journalists at Trump events.

Then, if we can get Twitter to stop running his abusive tweets -- especially those celebrating the genocide of Native Americans -- he'd melt into the pile of blubbering cowshit he truly is.

The chapter on violence is next in their awful plan, there is nothing left but force. Those of us who lived through the sixties know the drill. Peer pressure among the ignorant is a dangerous thing.

Trump supporters are straight up idiots. BBC. They couldn't name where the BBC is located, or one show on it.

America is again, embarrassed.

He does the same thing every single rally - hate on immigrants, hate on the press, belittle opponents, declare "no collusion", lead some chants....lather, rinse, repeat.
