BBC Cameraman attacked at Trump Rally

By Mona Austin

The White House Correspondents Association has called on the White House to ensure the safety of reporters after a BBC reporter was attacked at a Trump rally in El Paso, TX on Monday.

A BBC spokesman said: “BBC cameraman Ron Skeans was violently pushed and shoved by a member of the crowd while covering a President Trump rally in Texas last night. The man was removed by security and Rob is fine. The President could see the incident and checked with us that all was ok. It is clearly unacceptable for any of our staff to be attacked for doing their job.”

Press Sec. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said: “President Trump condemns all acts of violence against any individual or group of people—including members of the press,” she said. “We ask that anyone attending an event do so in a peaceful and respectful manner.”
