MAGA-hat-wearing supporter at Trump's El Paso rally physically attacked the media—jumped into media pen, knocked over cameras & BBC journalist while yelling "FUCK THE MEDIA." Orwellian spin from Trump camp: "An individual involved in a physical altercation with a news cameraman"
Demonizing the press is a regular part of every Trump rally. He leads angry anti-media chants to discredit their truth—while they're in the arena working silently. He whips up hate then pretends resulting violence is an unrelated "altercation." It's a Trump-induced tort, @BBCNews 
@BBCNews Adding insult to injury-literally-Trump sees security removing MAGA-hat guy from press area & shows concern for HIM—interrupting his propaganda rally to ask "You alright?" He wants every last supporter—racist, violent—all welcome in the cult. America is a powder keg under Trump.
@BBCNews NOTE to lawyers for BBC journalists attacked at Trump rally in El Paso. Trump admits he >>intentionally agitates<< the crowd. He says his SOTU speech tone "wouldn't work here. 'Nice and calm'—that's not what you're looking for. And this is more fun." Inciting violence—for FUN🤡🤯
@BBCNews Trump rallies are the lowest form of decadent entertainment & political debauchery. Like medieval gladiator battle, but in cheap cheat Trump fashion, he skewers people not there! He sets up unfair fights to attack ppl in arenas where they literally can't fight back. #BuildTheHate
@BBCNews THIS is what I mean about Trump building an army, not a wall. This guy roared "REPUBLICANS!" like a half-cocked lion in a jungle. Then wildly screeched "FUCK YOU DEMOCRATS!" a dozen times at patrons in a cafe. Every last GOP propagandist & enabler is responsible for this sickness
