Trump Volunteer Tries To Block Journalist From Photographing Protester At Rally
Ed Mazza, HuffPost 8 hours ago AP photographer Evan Vucci snapped an image of the unidentified member of Trump’s advance team putting his hand in front of a journalist’s camera:
AP reported that Trump “ paced on stage ” as the protester was escorted from the arena.
“And now tomorrow, you’re gonna read headlines: ‘ Trump had protesters all over the place ,’” Trump said, according to Business Insider, which noted that the rally was interrupted by demonstrators several times.
Trump has repeatedly called the media the “ enemy of the people ” and accused the press of spreading “fake” stories about him. He’s also told supporters not to believe what they see or read.
“Just remember, what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what’s happening ,” Trump said in July.
At the event in Indiana on Thursday, Trump told the crowd that 85 percent of journalists are “ just dishonest, terrible people .” He also claimed, without evidence, that networks turn off cameras at his rallies.

I wouldn't be surprised if the photographer jammed his camera up against the guys hand to stage an "incident". Why would somebody stop a photographer at a rally where there is a live camera feed and literally thousands and thousands of photographs? The story makes no sense.
Good point.
Then you can explain why blocking a camera would be effective in that setting. Go ahead.
I'm hostile? I said the guy had a good point. You didn't have to say anything. Instead you jumped in and said it wasn't a good point, that it was nonsense. And then I, using perfectly civil language, invited you to explain your point of view. Now you want to give me a hard time for it. How is that me being hostile?
I don't know what that means.
He means you show up on many of the same threads he is posting on. Is he following you or are you following him or her?
Makes no difference, it happens all the time. Just ignore the comment.
That means let me post my nonsense without being challenged.
(?!)
Everything you post on a social news site like this is going to be challenged. The more the nonsense the more the challenges.
Hey BF are you still around? I figured you would have been arrested by now.
Of course we argue for the sake of it! For what other reason would we show up here?
You're building a following. When I was posting here regularly I had a group of people that showed up at almost every seed or article I posted. It was the same at Newsvine.
I take it with a grain of salt. Some of them liked and supported me, but most of them were after me because they know I lean to the left and they couldn't wait to get into debates with me so they can tell me how wrong I am about, like,... everything.
So what you're saying is that a photographer saw one of Trump's volunteers doing a Nazi salute and decided to put his camera all the way up in the air, to pretend that the Nazi saluting Trump volunteer was trying to block his photo?????
Every once in a while I see some pretty stupid comments made on this site. That comment seems to be competing for first place on the Stupid Comment list.
So I'll take that to mean you can't come up with any good reason why that couldn't have happened. I guess it's easier for you to just make silly comments.
I figure everybody would simply apply common sense to your comment and understand how unlikely it is that it could have happened that way and move on.
But not me. Whenever I see a stupid comment posted I can't help but to say something.
But yet you probably believe that Russia somehow stole the election for Trump because that's so much more believable. Oh, that was sarcasm.
There is no way you could understand what I probably believe.
I posted an article in March of 2015 warning Democrats that running Hillary in 2016 would likely be disastrous because of her 'baggage'.
Mickey Mouse could have beaten Hillary in that race. (and we probably would be better off)
