‘Degenerate Filth!’: Angry Trump Supporter Unleashes Wild Rant on Reporters at President’s Rally
In a video uploaded to Twitter by a Buzzfeed correspondent, an unidentified fan of President Donald Trump raged at members of the media as they attempted to pack up following a presidential speech in Macomb County, Michigan, on Saturday night.
In the clip, the man can be seen screaming and pointing at reporters, calling them “degenerate filth” and telling them to get out of his country.
The confrontation followed Trump’s attack on the media, accusing them of “fake news.”
“These are very dishonest people, many of them. They are very, very dishonest people,” Trump bellowed to the crowd while standing in front of a “Make America Great Again” banner.
“Fake news. Very dishonest,” he added. “They don’t have sources. The sources don’t exist in many cases.”
Trump’s rally occurred at the same time the President — and his White House staff — were being roasted at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner by comedian Michelle Wolf.
