The Washington Post reports:

Donald Trump routinely bashes the news media at his rallies, labeling them “dishonest” people who are part of the “rigged” system that he claims is working against him. The crowd usually piles on with boos.

At a Saturday afternoon rally here, one man confronted the media on his own – with an anti-Semitic chant and a hand gesture that some on social media suggested resembled hate symbols.

“You’re going down! You’re the enemy!” the man yelled. He pointed at reporters, producers and photographers who were in their designated media pen at the back of the venue.

As the rest of the crowd broke into a chant of “USA! USA!” the man chanted, “Jew-S-A!” He made a hand gesture that some on social media said resembled hate symbols flagged by the Anti-Defamation League. Asserting that Jews control the media is a common theme among white supremacists.

More from CNN:



Donald Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway admonished a man who shouted “Jew-S-A!” at reporters at a Trump rally Saturday night and said she would have had him removed if she had seen it.

Asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” Sunday whether she would call the man’s conduct “deplorable,” Conway said: “Yes, I would. His conduct is completely unacceptable and does not reflect our campaign or our candidate.”

The word “deplorable” recalled Hillary Clinton’s comment at a private fundraiser that half of Trump’s supporters fit into what she called a “basket of deplorables.” After criticism, Clinton later said she should not have said “half” of his backers were deplorable.

The man’s chant came while the rest of the crowd was chanting “U-S-A!” Video of the man’s anti-Semitic shouting had gone viral Saturday night. “That man’s conduct was deplorable, and had I been there, I would have asked security to remove him immediately. Clearly, he doesn’t speak for the campaign or the candidate, and what he had to say was disgusting,” Conway said.
