It is astonishing that a reporter would tweet a video where an orderly group of shut-down protestors treat him with utter comtempt. "Fake news coming through" LOL!.

He was looking for violence and found contempt. What a snowflake.

The group that organized the rally, the Setauket Patriots, issued an apology as the videos went viral.

Ugh! Why does our side always apologize? I thought that video and people were brilliant! The media is the enemy of the people. Now let’s see indictments!

The fifth-column medidiot thought the video was showing extremism against the media.

Actually the protestors were being very polite in their description of the leftist FakeNews treachery of people like the reporter.

"Lying, murdering traitors" is a more accurate description of the leftist media.

Not only is fake news--i.e. disinformation, agitprop, and propaganda masquerading as news--non-essential, but it is dangerous. It dangerously misleads the public.

Essential????

Is AtlanticMagazine essential? How was it published an printed in a shut down?

Ditto the New York Times? Is the headquarters news room active?

Can we arrest a barber and allow a marxist publication to remain active?

EBH @5: "The group that organized the rally, the Setauket Patriots, issued an apology as the videos went viral."

The only apology should be that the protesters were too polite in describing the demonic evil of the fifth-column leftist media.

Did he get an Antifa-type beatdown? Of course not, since it was an orderly GOP crowd. The reverse cannot always be said.

Drama queen.
