I saw the video. Once a liar, always a liar!
This protester said he was filming himself and other protesters with his phone when the altercation started, so he should show the video he’s got. The Washington Compost story says that reporters were not supposed to be outside of a designated media area (instituted on Wednesday, the night that a guy convicted of trying to bomb a Marine recruiting center was arrested at Trump’s rally - timing that the WP reporters failed to mention), and CNN and the Compost were only able to see/record anything because they were in the audience instead of where they were supposed to be.
So it does seem staged, at first glance. Especially if, as somebody said here, CNN happened to be focused right on this guy when everything started. They broke the rules to be where they were, and the reason seems to be so they could videotape this altercation.
Have these reporters not seen the footage of the Muslim 9-11 celebrations in Dearbornistan, MI?
