Full Title: RNC Attendee Tossed for Allegedly Throwing Peanuts at Black CNN Camerawoman and Yelling ‘This Is How We Feed Animals’

Sometime Tuesday afternoon, an attendee at the Republican National Convention in Tampa threw peanuts at a black female CNN camerawoman and shouted at her "This is how we feed animals," according to David Schuster of Take Action News, who's attending the RNC and first reported the incident on Twitter. CNN confirmed to Talking Points Memo that an incident indeed occurred and that a person was booted from the convention, although the identity of both the CNN worker and the person who made the slur (and may have also committed an assault) has not yet been revealed. CNN wrote in a brief statement to Talking Points Memo: “CNN can confirm there was an incident directed at an employee inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum earlier this afternoon. CNN worked with convention officials to address this matter and will have no further comment.” Update: The Secret Service, which has jurisdiction inside the convention venue, told the Washington Post that it's referring questions about the incident to the Republican National Committee. In other words, it's horrible, but not criminal.

We used to call them Republican butts. They would preface whatever they said with “I'm a Republican but...” In most every case they were really Democrats.

I’m guessing a RuPaul “delegate” or a DNC plant.

“Attendee” — that could mean anything. Chris Matthews was an attendee. My bet is that it was him.

Wasn't Biden an attendee?! ROFL!

If the guy was throwing peanuts, and acting like a jerk. I'm glad he was tossed. I got to see if I can get info on it today.

By the way, did you see how many families were there? The Republicans are for Families... the Dems are for ABORTIONISTS!!

They have figured out a weakness in the system and are exploiting it.

And that makes me think of Soros. He's a master at finding things to exploit and undermined the process.

The sad thing is that Paul has some good points, ( but his other stuff just makes him look kookie..) and I like his followers enthusiasms but I really have to wonder if he's not being co-opted by the extreme left. And if that's the case, that's a shame because the GOP needs people to get back constitutional based principles. The RINOs are making the party a light version of the democrats.

“CNN can confirm there was an incident directed at an employee inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum earlier this afternoon.

Unless everybody entering the Tampa Bay Times Forum is identified the peanut thrower could have been anybody.

And in the "Did You Know That..." column...
RNC Attendee Allegedly Threw Nuts At Black CNN Camerawoman, Said ‘This Is How We Feed Animals’
The CNN official declined to confirm specific details of the incident to TPM but generally confirmed an account posted on Twitter by former MSNBC and Current anchor David Shuster: “GOP attendee ejected for throwing nuts at African American CNN camera woman + saying ‘This is how we feed animals.’”

As I said on another thread...
One thing is for sure...if it was staged the perp will never be ID'd. If it was for real then it will be loudly and publicly proclaimed.

The actions by the media will be telling.

Yes.

They don't have as many children at DNC events because they are more of the 'adult-fare' type of entertainment. Lots of profanity and jokes about sex.
