Trump Supporters Violently Attack Media During Trump Rally

A violent Trump supporter shoved a BBC cameraman and starting yelling, "F*ck the media! F*ck the media!" during Donald Trump's rally in El Paso, Texas, last night.

From NPR:

The BBC's Ron Skeans was working in the area of a raised camera platform at Trump's campaign event when, he says, a "very hard shove" came out of nowhere. At the time, Trump was touting recent economic numbers to a roaring crowd in the El Paso County Coliseum.

Skeans' colleagues say the apparent attack came after repeated verbal assaults on the media during the event. The BBC says it is "clearly unacceptable for any of our staff to be attacked for doing their job."

"I didn't know what was going on," Skeans said, according to the BBC, describing the moment when his camera suddenly skewed down and away from the stage. Video footage showed a Trump supporter yelling obscenities as he was restrained and taken away from the area.

This is the shameful moment when my cameraman Ron Skeans was attacked at an ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ rally in El Paso last night - warning this video contains strong language. Happily Ron is fine. #TrumpElPaso pic.twitter.com/Ay5DYT6gjP

The incident was apparently so wild and noticeable that even Trump stopped to check and see if the cameraman was fine asking, "You all right? Everything OK?"

The BBC’s Washington news editor, Eleanor Montague, tweeted that Trump had whipped the crowd “into a frenzy against the media” prior to the attack.

Trump Attacks "Nasty Loser" White House Journalist, Suggests More Reporters Could Lose Credentials

Donald Trump continued his personal attacks on journalists this morning as he went on a rant regarding American Urban Radio Networks reporter April Ryan saying she's a "loser" who "doesn't know what she's doing."

Ryan has been covering the White House for many, many years.

The Donald also mentioned other reporters may lose their White House credentials as CNN's Jim Acosta did two nights ago.

Ironically, Trump says you should treat the presidency with "respect."

He should try that sometime.

Trump: "The same thing with April Ryan...You talk about somebody that's a loser. She doesn't know what the hell she's doing...She's very nasty, and she shouldn't be."

CNN Airs Video Montage Of Trump's Verbal Attacks On The Media

In response to a shooting at a Maryland newspaper which left 5 dead and many injured, President Donald Trump condemned violent attacks on the media.

The key word in that sentence is "violent" because clearly the Trumpster has long demeaned and fed incivility towards journalists.

CNN's John Berman took time to recognize Trump's history of verbal attacks on the media with a video montage.

Trump Takes A Swipe At Media During Houston Stop

After dropping into the Houston area for the day, Donald Trump took a cheap shot at the media who have been facing horrible conditions for over a week covering the impact of Hurricane Harvey.

Among the many things I despise about the man, crap like this - taking the low road for no reason - make me embarrassed he's the leader of this country.

No, Donald, it's been heartbreaking, awful and sad to watch people lose everything. Watch below.
