A supporter of US President Donald Trump has attacked a BBC cameraman at a campaign rally in El Paso, Texas.

Sporting a Make America Great Again cap, the man shoved and swore at the BBC's Ron Skeans and other news crews before being pulled away.

Mr Skeans said the "very hard shove" came from his blindside. "I didn't know what was going on."

Mr Trump saw the attack and confirmed Mr Skeans was well with a thumbs up after it happened.

They were “journalists”. In effect, professional liars. You’d think they could catch a clue. It’s going to be a long time, if ever, before they regain any credibility.

What are the odds it is a false flag attack?

Of course only one side of the story with a Twitter comment by fake journalist Jim Asscosta front and center.

Trump supporters have tempers too and can only tolerate so much. If I get cut off by a car with a Trump sticker I really don’t mind. Lib sticker = middle finger.

Leftist propagandists are not “journalists”.

Real journalists are objective.

Very few in Big Media today can claim that important distinction - in other words, there are very few real journalists today. Sad.

No sympathy, BBC. You are the propaganda wing of our enemy. You and your leftist friends declared war but we are now fighting back.

You mean like the guy who sent all those “bombs” to every one of the left’s faves? That was a perfect October surprise.

That was my first thought. Maybe it was a Hillary supporter, dressed up like a Ttump guy.

Yeah, I’m not buying it.

I listen to the BBC every morning, where I learn there is no muzzie problem in the UK.

Unmentioned is what the BBC guy might have done. Did he push his way to get a better camera view, and got pushed back?

I watch the BBC from time to time, and they are almost as bad as CNN in their reporting on Trump.

Now a double tap would be considered an actual attack but a shove?
