Trump Attacks NBC's Katy Tur During Florida Rally
Source: Media Matters
During a rally in Miami, FL, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump complained that the media never show the incredible group of people at his rallies, before focusing his attacks specifically on NBC's Katy Tur. In reference to his large crowds, Trump repeatedly said, Theres something happening, Katy, before moving on to hyping his border wall. A Yahoo News correspondent tweeted that after Trump called out Tur, one of his supporters who was seated behind the press began endlessly taunting Tur.
This is the latest in a series of attacks the GOP nominee has launched against journalists in general and the NBC embed reporter in particular. During a June interview with Fox News Fox & Friends, Trump said of Tur that his campaign doesnt let her in because shes not a very good reporter. In a December rally, he called her Little Katy, third-rate journalist, which prompted his supporters to point at her and boo. Tur was given secret service protection back to her car following the rally.
DONALD TRUMP: Thank you. It's too bad those cameras aren't turning around to see this incredible group of people, with thousands more outside. Isn't it too bad? They don't do it. But you know if Hillary speaks and there's 30 people in the line, they say the crowd is massive. She has never had a crowd like this in her life. President Obama shouldn't be campaigning for her any longer -- it's really a conflict, right? He ought to be working on jobs, on the border, on building up our military instead of campaigning for crooked Hillary Clinton. It's what he ought to be doing. He's in North Carolina, but we are going to North Carolina right after this, so -- but we have two more today in Florida and we have massive crowds. There's something happening. They're not reporting it. Katy, you're not reporting it, Katy. But there's something happening, Katy. There's something happening, Katy. A Trump administration will also secure and defend the borders of the United States. And yes, we will build the wall

Dear lord, this man is truly deplorable.

Shame on him. I bet individuals in the SS are questioning taking a bullet for a racist, misogynistic, ignorant, bullying bigot.

(3,112 posts)...or the network, or somebody high up there at NBC, calls out Trump for his bully tactics and stands behind this reporter.
Gawd I hate this man. I mean honestly, he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He's pure scum. Pure scum and manifestly unqualified to be President. And 40 percent of eligible American voters are gonna vote for him next Tuesday. The most charitable thing you can say about that is that these people are woefully ignorant of the harm Trump would do if he EVER became President. Don't make me say the least charitable thing.
