One person was taken into custody Monday evening during a pro-Donald Trump rally outside the CNN building in Hollywood. But it wasn’t a Trump supporter who was taken away in handcuffs by Los Angeles police, it was a woman who allegedly spat on one of the demonstrators, then dashed into a nearby coffee shop.
“The woman that they’re arresting right now spit on me. I had another gentleman spit in my face,” said Margaret Schofield as she carried a “Chino for Trump” sign.
The female suspect was being held on a battery count, a spokesman with the Los Angeles Police Department said.
protesters gathered at the corner of Sunset and Cahuenga boulevards to speak out against what they perceive as pro-Hillary Clinton media bias and to demand CNN “be more truthful” in its coverage of the 2016 presidential election.
“The things that I see on CNN, it really is beyond bias and slant,” said Dorothy Caruso of Costa Mesa. “It’s the Clinton News Network.”
While Caruso stood to the west of the CNN building, she said she was confronted by someone who obviously isn’t a Trump supporter.
“Somebody had a temper tantrum, abused my Women for Trump sign,” said Caruso as she held up a homemade poster that had been torn apart.
Dubbed “Truth 4 Hillary/CNN Post Debate Rally,” the protest drew about 20 Trump supporters from across Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. The organizers included a group called San Fernando Valley 4 Trump.
“Donald Trump is a patriot. I believe in what he says,” explained San Fernando Valley resident Jay Stern who waved an American flag.
Schofield, one of the most vocal protesters, chanted “Bill Clinton is a rapist” on a bullhorn. She also described former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a “criminal.”
“She let four men die in Benghazi. She has blood on her hands,” said Schofield.
There was even a protester from Tennessee.
“I am supporting Trump and Pence,” explained Tennessean Thomas Barkley.
Barkley, who is African American, drew stares from passersby with his anti-Hillary sign.
The woman was probably a cnn anchor.
I know exactly where that building is on Sunset. They even had Bernie campaign in front of that building twice in a row. Any other excuses they’re not in cahoots with leftards?
lefties - will you accept a Trump Presidency peacefully ?
lets get on of these going outside CNN in NYC
Wow! Fantastic! Way to go, protesters! I calculate your force multiplication at 1-1,000,000,000!
CNN needs to be protested around the country, because of their disgusting bias.
Either CNN states , and admits they are in the tank and acting as a propaganda arm, or they should be protested and boycotted. Same goes for NBC
Just said the same, but around the country.
Cnn and NBC have gone way off their planet, and then tries to tell us they are not bias, and corrupt!!!
Protest and boycott CNN, NBC
But...but Hillary is up 11 points over Trump. She’s got this man! So why the hatred at Trump supporters?
One day what they are creating, will come back at them..
lefties - will you accept a Trump Presidency peacefully ?
Maybe I’m a bad person, but I kind of hope not. :)
“it was a woman who allegedly spat on one of the demonstrators”
Minor detail.
I wonder if us Trump supporting patriots will accept a Hillary “win”. I know I’ll have a hard time.
I heard on the radio news that at a Trump rally people were chanting “CNN sucks!” and CNN has complained about it to the Trump campaign. That’s hilly-arious.
.
There is no way Hillary can pull off a legitimate win.
.
I hope the spitter is convicted of battery.....and I really hope she didn’t have AIDS. But please, do not refer to an attacker as a Gentleman. He’s no gentleman.
Incidentally, while I was not completely a never Trump man, Ted Cruz was my man; however, reading how brain damaged and vile Hillary is, I made my peace with a Trump candidacy and support him. Plus, there is Trump's excellent performance at the second debate over witch Hillary.
Aww... - liberals having a Trumper Tantrum
Darn right...they have been getting away with their crap or too long now!
WE ARE FINALLY rising up FINALLY!!! GO TRUMP GO!!!
