Trump supporter attacks BBC cameraman at El Paso rally
bbc.com ^ | February 12, 2019 | BBC

Posted on 02/12/2019 2:17:18 AM PST by Berlin_Freeper

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.

But what we didn’t hear was this fake twit making comments that did not fit the rally and so he got what he deserved

That was my thought. In one account it was a violent attack. Looking for video now:

What are the odds it is a false flag attack?

I'd say 100%.

“They were ‘journalists’. In effect, professional liars.”

Along those lines, in the 11 p.m. hour a Fox reporter in Texas reported that there had been “thousands” lined up at the BETO rally.

Every word he used in this article.. every sentence, reaked with anti Trumpism. Just don’t take your time to report if you have no unbiased opinions of what you are “reporting” about.
You younger generation of “media” don’t have a handle on how to do a report... it’s just siding with the democrats and dividing the nation... and being stupid... all at the same time.

Very true. Once upon a time, journalism was aimed at "informing" people about events.

Today, journalism is about "persuading" people to think in accordance with The Party. And I think journalists have been fully trained to think that this is exactly what their job is supposed to be.

Seems I remember the "resist" tactics in some online revolutionary novel where the first targets for push-back were the front-line propagandists. Being they were the visible front of the MSM (and by proxy Big Brother), their targeting was used to send a message to the rest that judgement was coming, and hell was right behind.

If they think they can continue their biased trade without repercussions at some point, they are in for a rude awakening, and remember it goes both ways...

Lib sticker = middle finger.

Just prior to the turd's election to his second term I was in a shopping center parking lot awaiting my family and a junky looking car with just about every liberal cliché on a sticker on it along with multiple 0bama stickers and stickers disparaging republicans pulled up along side. The young and somewhat scruffy couple went into the center and returned only to discover they had a dead battery. They spied me and asked if I would give them a jump start (and they had cables in hand leading me to believe that this was a common occurrence) I told them alas I couldn't because I didn't want to contaminate their car with electricity from a republican battery. The look on their faces was very enjoyable - A mixture of disbelief, outrage and anger. How dare I not help the enemy.

Was an arrest made? Did the police get involved? Did they interview the “victim” and alleged “aggressor”? I read the article pretty quick, but I didn’t see where anyone was detained or arrested. Where is the mugshot of the guy who assaulted the BBC crew?

If not, this guy was a plant. Some Leftist, wearing a MAGA hat, trying to make supporters of the President look bad. No different than during the campaign, and plants were in the audience trying to bait him and their latest debacle with the Indian Recon Ranger, that completely blew up in their faces.

All BullSh*t!!!!!!!

Democrats paid people to incite violence at Trump rallies and other public events. This means there is a good chance the “attacker” isn’t conservative.
