Swastika And Jeers Greet Reporters On Donald Trump Trail

[img][/img]

When reporters returned to the media section of a Donald Trump rally Thursday afternoon in West Palm Beach, Florida, there was a swastika waiting for them.

The nominee, appearing desperate and unhinged, had just unloaded on the New York Times and other news outlets for reporting on allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct, behavior consistent with the vulgar and predatory boasts he made on a hot mic recording unearthed last week. During the Florida rally, Trump claimed the media and banks were part of a global “conspiracy” being waged against the American people, basking in anti-Semitic themes once relegated to the white nationalist fringe.

It’s unclear if whoever left the swastika was a neo-Nazi or was calling the media Nazis. Either way, the message was clear: We hate you.

Trump has vilified the “dishonest” and “sick” media throughout his presidential run and treated journalists with unmatched hostility on the campaign trail. The Committee to Protect Journalists took the unprecedented step Thursday of designating Trump a threat to press freedom “unknown in modern history.”

they can't draw accurate swastikas...and the media gives them attention, now, after the monster is loose.

Maybe the media, who helped create this monster, will wake up when some of the Trump supporters attack and harm them physically. I don't want it to happen, but I think it will happen.

I think November 9 is going to be a very 'interesting' media day. If Trump's horde of morons come out en masse, things might get very ugly, very fast.

I will always thank the author John Kennedy Toole for the phrase: A Confederacy of Dunces. Seems so fitting.
