Campaign Trail Trolls Dupe Fox Reporter and Others Into Thinking Trump Supporters Wear Armbands
Mediaite ^ | 3/14/16 | Sam Reisman

They have struck again!

It appears that the same heckler who interrupted a Marco Rubio rally on Sunday, pretending to be a jilted boyfriend, has now convinced a Fox News reporter that Donald Trump supporters in Florida are boasting armbands.

Capture

Fox’s Carl Cameron (pictured above) produced a segment on the Trump armbanders, which Shepard Smith aired during his show Monday:

But take a look at the screengrab of the troll/comedian from the Rubio rally:

Here is the video from that event:

Compare with the photo below from Cameron’s producer Nick Kalman posted Monday afternoon:

The armband boasters appear also to be the same guys who were caught on camera wearing “Settle for Hillary” t-shirts at a Clinton rally last month.

Genius troll? Next-level comic bit? Who can say?

UPDATE — 4:15 p.m. ET: Kalman, the Fox producer, updated his Twitter to say the pair appeared to be “professional trolls.”

As did Fox anchor Shepard Smith:

UPDATE — 4:35 p.m. ET: Cameron clarified on Neil Cavuto‘s hour that the Trump campaign was not handing out the armbands — it was merely two men with a “terrible sense of humor.”

This is obviously part of a insidious plot by the Canadian to portray the Donald as a neo-nazi.

Anti-trumps such as fox news are so desperate to keep the Trump-is-a-Nazi meme alive that they’ll grasp at anything. They got played.

Guess Faux News didn’t take the bait on the yellow Star of David by armed protesters.

Carl Cameran ALWAYS slants things against conservative candidates whenever given the opportunity to do so. I base this upon personal observations over time.

The problem is not “ two men with a terrible sense of humor”. The problem is the media who will fall for anything that fits their agenda.

The damage is done. There will be plenty of fools out there that will believe this “joke” as they hear about it through the rumor mill or Fakebook.
