Slams mainstream: They 'want to surrender the Constitution'
Donald Trump showed no signs at his most recent campaign rally of cowering to a critical press that's been slamming him for saying all Muslims should be halted at the border for the time being, turning up the temperature on the rhetoric and calling out the mainstream media as "scum."
Among his comments at his Monday evening South Carolina rally: The media is "scum" and "the mainstream media want to surrender the Constitution," he said, the Hill reported. He then turned critical eyes directly on certain members of the press.
"These people back here are the worst," he said, pointing directly at a particular group of reporters in the crowd. "They are so dishonest ... 70 to 75 percent are absolutely dishonest. Absolute scum. Remember that. Scum. Scum. Totally dishonest people."
And he then named names.
Trump mentioned NBC reporter Katy Tur, and told of her previous story of his leaving a rally early - a story he said was false.
"She's back there, Little Katy," Trump said, the Hill reported. "What a lie it was ... what a lie it was for NBC to have written that. Total lies ... a third-rate reporter. Remember that. Third rate."
Tur responded on Twitter.
"Awww," she wrote. "Women in the crowd are giving me sympathetic looks."

Its way past time.
The media are absolutely clueless as to how much they are despised and hated.
I doubt they were giving her sympathetic looks, more like glaring disgust.
Poor Katy, she probably want get any more interviews with Donald until she kisses his ring swears total fealty to him.
He calls them as he sees them. They are scum, and most people know that. I guess that it might hurt their feelings. Maybe he should use the actual definition and not the word: a layer of dirt or froth on the surface of a liquid. Would they like that better?
EVERY COUNTRY should declare a "time out" from accepting migrants and refugees until they stabilize and integrate their native populations.
We got it wrong after 911. The problem then was people in the US who should not have been here. Part of the shock with the Tsarnov brothers is that the problem has gotten worse, and it still is what it is. That would be radical Islamic terrorism.
Until Muslims who are US citizens are partners in solving the problem, it makes no sense to allow more, possibly radicalized, Muslims to enter their communities.
Is Mr. Trump the only leader who can cut through everything and see the obvious?
Morally and factually? Correct. Red meat? Most certainly. Tactically? He’s hoisting himself on his own petard right before our own eyes.. His less enthusiastic, shallower support will now peel away at a critical time six weeks out and folks will look for a conservative alternative, a winner, like Ted Cruz.
I 100% agree with Trump on this issue, the media in its present form, is a huge domestic enemy.
Trump has done it... he is denigrating a large swath.
Don’t lump all scum together, he should apologize to the good scum and righteous scum of the earth.
But he is right, there is bad scum too... the enemedia.
What is a leader? A straight talking, decisive, visionary who refuses to be led. A man who detests being a follower and trailing at the back of the pack, rather than being out front, on point, at the tip of the spear.
BlackFemaleArmyCaptain sometimes I think I am dreaming when I hear Trump speak. No its real.
Hey, so much criticism from our side but the guy is not perfect nor claiming to be.
I will never tire of watching the media cringe. Never, just pure joy. Because they have held the American people hostage along with the loopy left altogether.
Go Trump!
Trump was going easy on the State Sponsored Media....they are all traitors and pieces of $hit.
Why to immigrants have a right to the U.S.?
That’s because they live in an insulated bubble where their collegues, coworkers, friends and family all think alike. They have no idea what or how the rest of us think (nor do they care).
Go Trump!!!
The ghost of Pauline Kael. “I don’t know how Nixon could have won, I don’t know a single person who voted for him.”
