Fox Falsely Accuses Trump Protester Of Voter Fraud, Story Debunked By His Not-Dead Grandmother [VIDEO]

The Guardian reports:

Fox News has falsely implicated the protester who was beaten up at a Donald Trump rally in a case of voter fraud involving absentee ballots issued in the name of his “dead” grandmother.

Austyn Crites, a Republican protester who was assaulted at a Trump rally in Nevada, was stunned to see a TV report associating him with fraudulent voting connected to a grandmother Fox News claimed died in 2002.

However, the Guardian met Wilda Austin, 90, in her living room in suburban Reno late on Monday. She was alive and well, although somewhat baffled that she was having to prove her identity to correct a TV broadcast that reported that she died 14 years ago.

“Please correct the record,” she said, arms crossed. She declined to appear on camera, in part because the family has been subjected to a torrent of abuse and threats since Crites, 33, an inventor, was ejected from the Trump rally for holding a sign that read “Republicans against Trump.”

He was punched, kicked, wrestled to the ground and held in a chokehold by [homocon] Trump supporters at the rally. The incident led to a security scare after someone in the crowd shouted that he was armed, sparking panic through the auditorium and prompting security service agents to rush the nominee from the stage.

In the clip below, you’ll note that Fox repeats the widely-debunked claim that President Obama has urged “illegals” to vote.
