Trump supporter goes berserk on reporters: ‘Jew… you’re the enemy!’
A man at an Arizona Trump rally last Saturday accosted reporters on Saturday, screaming “You’re going down!” while also shouting anti-Semitic slurs.
“We know who you are! You’re the enemy! You’re the ones working for the devil! Maybe!” the man yelled. At that point, the crowd broke into a chant of “U-S-A! U-S-A!” and the man chanted along, editing the common nationalistic refrain to “Jew-S-A! Jew-S-A!”
So this just happened near the press pen at Trump's Phoenix rally. Man chanting "Jew.S.A.!"
The man was also reported to have shouted at the press that “You are rapists,” and “You need to pay for Bill Clinton’s rape,” and “You are responsible.”
The Trump supporter has yet to be identified. While Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said that the Trump campaign “strongly condemns this kind of rhetoric and behavior,” in a statement to Politico, adding that “It is not acceptable at our rallies or elsewhere.” However, the primary way that the Republican presidential nominee has made headlines in this election has been by making racial and misogynistic comments that many have found offensive.
Trump has also routinely attacked the press. During the rally where this unnamed Trump supporter called the media the devil, Trump also called them “terrible people.” He then repeated a frequent claim of his that the media is conspiring to keep the public from finding out that the national murder rate is at a 45-year-high.
According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, the murder rate was 4.9 per 100,000 people in 2015. In 1970, 45 years before, the murder rate was 7.9.
