Trump protester at center of security scare says he held "A simple sign"

The man whose protest at a Donald Trump rally in Nevada led the Secret Service to rush the GOP nominee offstage said he went to the event "with a simple sign" to "voice my displeasure with the nominee that the party picked."

Austin Crites, who said he is a registered Republican, said in an interview today with ABC News' "Good Morning America" that he held up a sign proclaiming "Republicans Against Trump" at the rally in Reno on Saturday.

After he raised the sign, "of course there was the booing going on around me," Crites told "GMA." "Then a couple of guys started trying to violently rip the sign out of my hand, grabbing my arm, grabbing the sign ... then all of a sudden I just got tackled by several people at once ... eventually the police came, and I was thankful for that."

Although reading my above post doesn't take into account that this particular guy was a DNC staffer according to Wikileaks. And someone posted in another thread he was there and that the guy came in with the person who yelled "gun!" It's beyond pathological to criminal when it's an op like that.

Probably he went up with the sign to get people freaked out, then deliberately and dramatically reached for a fake gun and lunged forward while his friend yelled "gun!" That FReeper should check this guy's facebook photos and see if he can identify the gun yeller.

Who here last night was it who observed such agitators in that region seem always to come from CA?

Lookie here what I found:

Yep, he’s been supporting himself “tasking” (despite having an MBA from a top school) and is based in SF.

Yet, as you can also see here, he is “temporarily not tasking”, but planning to be available again in 12/16 or 1/17.

Exactly the meme he was paid to try to portray - do something to garner suspicion of possible danger then label those who reacted as "violent Trumpers"....

Too bad for him and the DNC that they have been exposed.

What bothers me most is the report that this pickle sniffer’s dead grandmother and brother who lives in California already have “voted” from his Nevada address. Will the authorities now go after the peter-puffing crook?

Someone on twitter has outed him as a possible pedo with a weird “front-company.” Bet Soros sends the checks there. ;-)

I watched the rally and at that point in time, the people around him started pointing at something and yelling something. But, there was a sense of urgency from the people I was watching. And obviously, the Secret Service didn’t like the situation. More than a sign, IMHO.

How about his dead grandmother’s voter registration for his address. We have that here on FR.

He should have brought a clock with red wires hanging out of it.

He’s supporting himself with his own business-—what’s funny about that?

Actually, if he’s a paid agitator, it makes perfect sense to have some kind of 1099 type gig like that.

It would leave him free to travel and agitate at will.

Then he wanders back home and picks up where he left off.

ABC will buy any lie that helps Hillary or hurts Trump.

Corrupt white elites... protecting their DC friends... and thr right to feed off that corruption.
