One person was taken into custody Monday evening during a pro-Donald Trump rally outside the CNN building in Hollywood. But it wasn’t a Trump supporter who was taken away in handcuffs by Los Angeles police, it was a woman who allegedly spat on one of the demonstrators, then dashed into a nearby coffee shop.
“The woman that they’re arresting right now spit on me. I had another gentleman spit in my face,” said Margaret Schofield as she carried a “Chino for Trump” sign.
The female suspect was being held on a battery count, a spokesman with the Los Angeles Police Department said.
protesters gathered at the corner of Sunset and Cahuenga boulevards to speak out against what they perceive as pro-Hillary Clinton media bias and to demand CNN “be more truthful” in its coverage of the 2016 presidential election.
“The things that I see on CNN, it really is beyond bias and slant,” said Dorothy Caruso of Costa Mesa. “It’s the Clinton News Network.”
While Caruso stood to the west of the CNN building, she said she was confronted by someone who obviously isn’t a Trump supporter.
“Somebody had a temper tantrum, abused my Women for Trump sign,” said Caruso as she held up a homemade poster that had been torn apart.
Dubbed “Truth 4 Hillary/CNN Post Debate Rally,” the protest drew about 20 Trump supporters from across Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. The organizers included a group called San Fernando Valley 4 Trump.
“Donald Trump is a patriot. I believe in what he says,” explained San Fernando Valley resident Jay Stern who waved an American flag.
Schofield, one of the most vocal protesters, chanted “Bill Clinton is a rapist” on a bullhorn. She also described former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a “criminal.”
“She let four men die in Benghazi. She has blood on her hands,” said Schofield.
There was even a protester from Tennessee.
“I am supporting Trump and Pence,” explained Tennessean Thomas Barkley.
Barkley, who is African American, drew stares from passersby with his anti-Hillary sign.
saw it last night. Trump had a rally in PA and One America News always shows Trump rallies, and is the only one who mentions Clinton corruption , and is fair to Trump.
Thousands, and I mean it was a massive crowd all chanted CNN sucks.
We need to protest, boycott, and send emails in to CNN, and let them know they , and NBC have gone too far in their propaganda crap.
heard this morning on a show with Cuomo that he and the failed Alisyn Camerata or however you spell it were blabbing about it, and tried to say they were not biased.
Thousands of Deplorables tell CNN what they think of them...

Sick of their crap,. and them treating us like idiots, by saying they are not biased and cover b oth sides equally.
B/S do they.
Enough is enough and we need to protest the scumbags at their work. Make them the news for once.
...But...but Hillary is up 11 points over Trump. She’s got this man! So why the hatred at Trump supporters....
In a poll that surveyed 100 fewer Republicans than Democrats in a.poll done by a Clinton surrogate supporter. Wonder why the difference in the polling numbers sample?
Dang, I live in So Cal and could have attended.
CNN is the network of the Department of State.
It is funded by the Department of State.
It is controlled by the Department of State.
