‘Rope. Tree. Journalist.’ - Trump And His Deplorables Threaten Journalists


Story out of Minnesota, Minneapolis: 

At a Minnesota rally for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump today, Reuters Politics photographed one Trump supporter wearing a pretty provocative T-shirt.

This plays into some of the real estate mogul’s rhetoric over the campaign in which he’s targeted the media as part of the “rigged” system. Recently, the anti-media attitude has spread among his supporters, with rally attendees berating and attacking members of the press, who are typically confined to a media pen at rallies.

Last week, NBC News’ Katy Tur was singled out by the GOP candidate during one of his speeches, where he noted that she wouldn’t be reporting on the crowd size. Tur, who had been the target of Trump’s abuses in the past, was soon harassed by those in attendance. This led to folks on Twitter starting an #ImWithTur hashtag to show support for the reporter. Cont.
