Donald Trump on Wednesday called out NBCs Katy Tur for allegedly being part of the biased media at a rally in Miami.
Addressing Americas integrity in journalism, Trump said reporters are among the most dishonest people hes met.
According to Trump, reporters fail to capture the massive crowds at his rallies. But if Hillary speaks for an audience of 30 people, the media will say the crowd is massive, Trump said.
Trump went on to say the large crowd size at his rallies is worth reporting.
We have massive crowd, Trump said. Theres something happening. Theyre not reporting it. Katy youre not reporting it, Katy. But theres something happening, Katy.
In response, the #ImWithTur hashtag immediately started trending in the U.S. on Twitter.

(297,533 posts)Once again #ImWithTur began trending this morning, and still was trending hours later, as journalists and Trump nonfans tweeted in support of the reporter who has been embedded with the Trump campaign. Its not the first time the media has risen to Trumps bait when hes taken off after Tur; the hashtag reportedly was born in the summer after he repeatedly singled her out with his elementary school-style bullying.
Among Trumps taunts: He once told Tur to be quiet during a news conference; he told pals at Fox & Friends his campaign does not let people talk to Tur because shes not a very good reporter; and, during another of his well-received Media Are Scum spouts at a rally, he told enthusiastic supporters where they could find Little Katy, third-rate journalist.

She has been like an embedded reporter behind enemy lines for months now. On the bright side if she survives these dirtbags cheeto will have unwittingly kickstarted her career and made her a household name. Go Katy!

Don't forget with him we also get his kids Eric and Donald Jr. gloating right beside him(you know since they are such big important self made men).

I hate arrogant, self-absorbed bullying show offs. VOLUNTEER
