Trump, so far, has declined to say anything about the attack on a BBC cameraman by a Trump-rallygoer, at last night’s El Paso event: > [@](#): > > A photojournalist for the BBC was attacked Monday while covering President Donald Trump’s rally in El Paso, Texas. > > A rallygoer gained access to an area designated for the news media and began shoving people, according to video of the incident.

I’ve seen elsewhere on the Web, comments from Trumpeters on this incident. Oddly enough, none of them have remarked on the “government-run socialist outfit.” Rather, their comments boil down to this: “The incident never happened, so it’s fake news; and if it did happen, which we have no proof of, then the cameraman provoked the guy who attacked him.” Then they go back to comparing crowd sizes at Trump’s and Beto’s rallies. ---

Trump is on TV right now declaring his National Emergency, and telling the country that all of the drugs are not coming in thru the points of entry, there’s no way they could be coming thru the point of entry, they are being smuggled on people’s backs across the desert. Isn’t it obvious? ---
