CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer called out Donald Trump for encouraging hostility toward journalists who cover his rallies.
Blitzer pleaded with Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway for the Republican nominee to take it easier on members of the press.
"They go to all the rallies, they're in this pen, he points to them, he sort of eggs the crowd on to go after them," Blitzer said. "And they're a lot of young journalists there. They're scared sometimes."
"I know them all, I respect them all," Conway began to answer, before Blitzer cut her off.
"He shouldn't be doing that," Blitzer fired back. "Could you talk to him and say to him, 'Mr. Trump, we only have a few days left. These are hardworking young journalists. They deserve some security.'"
Conway attempted to partially shift the blame to journalists themselves, who she said were being overly negative in their coverage of Trump.
"Their Twitter feed is for some of them, we've done an analysis, 85, 90% negative towards Donald Trump," Conway said. "You didn't hear anything good to say? There's nothing good to report that day that you would actually put in your Twitter feed? So I think the responsibility has to go both ways."
Trump supporters have redirected their anger to embedded journalists at his rallies. Some have described unusual levels of hostility they've encountered on the campaign trail.
On "The Situation Room" on Tuesday, Conway said she would relay Blitzer's request to the candidate, who she said was "probably watching right now."
If Trump was, the message fell on deaf ears. About 20 minutes later, at a rally in Tallahassee, Florida, Trump blasted the press once more.
"There is nothing more corrupt than those people," he said to roaring applause. "They are a corrupt group."

They can have a bench seat in the tumbrel.
Oh, there’s gonna be some changes to whats considered the WH Press Pool..
Kellyane's reply was perfect: the pressholes need to earn our respect before we show them any respect.
I wish I knew.
Is this from the onion?
Have your camera people show true crowd size at all rallies - both Trump and Clinton, then Trump will ease back a little regarding how absolutely corrupt you are.
interesting, isn't it, that since the light of day was shined on hildabeast/DNC/creamer's dirty tricks operation that the violence has been shut down at trump rallies?
Yeah Wolf. We’ll treat them with the same respect that you all have for us deploreables and republicans.
I was there right behind the MSM stooge corral and they were intimidated. Kinda of scary having 20,000 people who you have constantly lied about and denigrated breathing down your neck.

BEST...ELECTION...EVERRR...
Put some ice on it, Wolf, you stupid, worthless, propagandist turd.
Where was Wolf when Obama used the IRS as the Gestapo to REPEATEDLY audit devout Catholic professors who spoke out against the HHS mandate? Where was Wolf when the Little Sisters of the Poor wanted to just feed the hungry or clean feces off the butts of this too sick to to it themselves, without the abortion mandate? Where was Wolf when over 20 women cried out rape against Bill Clinton and Hillary moved to silence every rape victim with threats of intimidation? If he doesn’t see tragedy, immense tragedy and suffering HIS silence has caused the rape victims, the nuns and the Catholic professors, he should immediately step down. We all know that won’t happen. Pretend victims triumph over real victims in this Orwellian world.
The wolf that cried boy
We need to find the trail of money that they receive from these politicians
You miserable propagandist deserve everything you get.
That remark takes b@!!s.......I didn’t know Wooof had any but I guess he does when it concerns himself and his band of merry Hillary surrogates! When desperate you’ll say anything.
Dearest wolfzie and other purported “journalists”. Self-exile is your best option. You are trash.
Go Trump! Win win win
