(UPDATE at end. Elk apologizes.) Reporter Salena Zito claimed she was verbally attacked by a Guardian reporter, later identified as Mike Elk, who got in her face, called her an anti-Semite while blaming her for the Pittsburgh Synagogue massacre on Saturday because of her reporting on President Trump. Elk demanded she leave the scene near Synagogue where the press was gathered, according to Zito. Elk and Zito are both Pittsburgh natives who have achieved a national audience (of disparate reach and reputation) for their reporting.
Zito posted to Twitter a photo of Elk with the caption, In middle of a somber moment at staging area while I was talking to a member of the Jewish community this @guardian reporter started screaming at me that I was an anti-Semite/that I caused shooting because I reports on Trump & to leave and kept screaming in my face to get out

I grew up in this neighborhood and as a Jew, have long dealt w/ anti-antisemitism in Western PA. It was an emotional time to see Jews from my neighborhood murdered for merely being Jews.
My apologies again if you were offended

A massive red tsunami will likely be the triggering event. They are sick and tired of losing. Their leaders have told them in certain terms that it is their final option. We have one week left. Hillary said they cannot be civil until they take back power. When they get their asses kicked next week they will consider all hope to be lost.
