Trump supporter attacks BBC cameraman at El Paso rally

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.

Do they know his name? How do they know he was a supporter?

It was a BBC reporter, i.e., pussy Brit. “She touched me Mommy!”

He probably mouthed the N word to him. I would not have shoved him, where the camera could pick it up, but I would have kicked him on the shin or leg. That would not have been picked up by the cameras and he would have remembered it a lot longer.

If anyone attending a Trump Rally baits them into doing something that they can get on camera. Remember that the crowd cameras, in most cases only show heads and shoulders. From the waist down is not on camera. A good foot stomp or a kick to the shin is not quickly forgotten. And the camera picks up nothing.

During the election, Wikileaks revealed that the DNC employed paid agitators to attend Trump rallies to start fist fights with others in the audience. Their flunkies in the media would then report stories about these “violent Trump supporters.” Don’t be surprised if this incident was also orchestrated by the left.

I read a post a couple days ago on another website that called for Antifa to be at the Trump rally.

There's no doubt the left employs agent provocateurs to attend Trump events to provoke and incite any incident they can. Look at how the Indians at the Covington event had their cameras ready and pointing at Nick Sandmann hoping for a violent over reaction they never got.

You can't ignore the hothead who is frustrated and angry Trump and his supporters are under attack and then decide to lash out.

In my minds eye I can see exactly what happened...
the cameraman, with his rude, conceded and holier then thou attitude tries to press (force) his way thou to get a better shot abuses someone in the crowd.
The young fella, full of excitement and adrenalin at seeing Trump, pushes the girly-man back and whining starts... WAAAA..! WAAAAA...!

It's obvious that the media is plum full of whiny, sticky butted girly-men who think the folks around them are nothing more then filth and human debris to be stepped on whenever they please...

To ask them for respect is a waste of wind.. A slap to the head works much better... :)

I’ve a feeling the BBC is going to have a rough couple of weeks, Tommy Robinson releases his undercover video on them on the 23rd.

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.

Yep. Today's journalists and journalism students like to brag that they chose the profession because they "want to make a difference." Nothing said about assuring the accuracy of history.

I’ll wait for the final report. Which I expect will show the “Trump supporter” to be a Democrat plant.

Robinson is brave beyond belief. One more trip to the slammer will kill him.

The BBC camera was on, it was aimed at Trump before the attack. I saw the footage, BBC tweeted it.
