Early Tuesday evening, Trump supporter and art gallery owner Jahangir Turan was walking down a street in Manhattan, New York wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat he had purchased at Trump Tower, when he was allegedly assaulted in broad daylight by a group of teens. News of the attack only grabbed national attention on Thursday.
Instead of reporting on the possible politically motivated attack in their own backyards, the flagship evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC were too busy suggesting Trump supporters at a rally in Cincinnati, Ohio that night were going to chant racist slogans.
While the networks were ignoring Turan’s swollen face, messed up eye, and fractured cheekbone, their local affiliates were covering his recounting of the assault. WNBC reported:
With a swollen face, bruises and black eye Jahangir “John” Turan -- owner of the David Parker Gallery which sells art work by Andy Warhol, Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró, among other celebrated artists -- says he was on his way to a meeting with a client after buying a MAGA hat when he came across a group of “kids,” who he described as being 18 to 20 years old, while walking on Canal Street toward West Broadway.
“Officials said 42-year-old Jahangir Turan told police he was on Canal Street in SoHo around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday when was struck in the head from behind,” reported WABC. “Turan said he was leaving the N train wearing a MAGA hat when a group of teenagers yelled "F*** Trump[”] and attacked him.”

Donald should start bringing this up at his rallies- and say “And the msm on the left call us violent? msm are Liars, every last one of them”
The reverse, MAGA on liberal, that is unusual, racist, and front page every time - even sometimes when fake like CovCath incident.
From this pattern the FBI concludes that white nationalism and white supremacy is increasing.
But Twitter is about some snowflakes who claim someone smacked them as they were being tossed out of the Trump rally by the cops last night.
The MSM is probably ignoring it because they think this should be a common everyday occurrence. Maybe when their people start getting their heads kicked in they will notice.
...assaulted in broad daylight by a group of teens...
If Trump or his DOJ made a big issue of this behaviour, the networks would soon stop ignoring it.
Yep. It’s a “dog bites man” story. Too common.
At least the Nazis would have their adult brownshirts do the dirty work on the streets, rather than use the Hitler Youth.
Conclusion: today’s left are lower than Nazis.
I wear a trump hat on occasions. During the 2016, 2018 election seasons and even the off year. In certain area let the don’t wear them unless I’m carrying.
I’m not going to make a target out of myself unless I have protection. I’m not going to just leave myself open to violent Marxists.
Why those sworn to protect and serve avoid getting involved sickens me but they’re too busy getting buckets of water thrown over their heads and being refused permission to defend themselves.
“The MSM is probably ignoring it because they think this should be a common everyday occurrence. “
Totally agree. I think the MSM views Trump supporters as less than human, and deserving of any abuse and humiliation that is heaped upon them.
We are in the midst of a cold Civil War, that just may go hot one day.
Allegedly beaten? He didn’t get a a fracture in his cheek and a badly swollen eye all by himself.
“Allegedly beaten?”
Frustrates the heck out of me, but legally they have to say that until the “suspect” is convicted.
That’s “suspects”, and I’ll be surprised if they’re ever rounded up.
ABC, CBS, and NBC were too busy suggesting Trump supporters at a rally in Cincinnati, Ohio that night were going to chant racist slogans.
“...and I’ll be surprised if they’re ever rounded up.”
One report said that the victim, WHILE TALKING TO THE POLICE WHO CAME TO TAKE HIS REPORT pointed out several of the yutes who were still there.
The cops did nothing.
We want the media echo chamber to report it.
We want the cops to handle it.
I’ll let that sink in for a minute... long enough for everyone to figure out why it keeps happening.
just my $0.02.
