After Trump takes dig at reporter, #ImWithTur hashtag comes to her defense

Donald Trump on Wednesday called out NBC’s Katy Tur for allegedly being part of the biased media at a rally in Miami.

Addressing America’s integrity in journalism, Trump said reporters are among the most dishonest people he’s met.

According to Trump, reporters fail to capture the massive crowds at his rallies. “But if Hillary speaks for an audience of 30 people, the media will say the crowd is massive,” Trump said.

Trump went on to say the large crowd size at his rallies is worth reporting.

“We have massive crowd,” Trump said. “There’s something happening. They’re not reporting it. Katy you’re not reporting it, Katy. But there’s something happening, Katy.”

In response, the #ImWithTur hashtag immediately started trending in the U.S. on Twitter.

#ImWithTur Still Trending After Donald Trump Taunts NBC Reporter Katy Tur Again

We have massive crowds. There is something happening. They’re not reporting it,” the GOP nominee bellowed, pointing to the cameras and media pen at his rally. “Katy, you’re not reporting it, Katy. But there is something happening, Katy. There is something happening, Katy.”

Once again #ImWithTur began trending this morning, and still was trending hours later, as journalists and Trump nonfans tweeted in support of the reporter who has been embedded with the Trump campaign. It’s not the first time the media has risen to Trump’s bait when he’s taken off after Tur; the hashtag reportedly was born in the summer after he repeatedly singled her out with his elementary school-style bullying.

Among Trump’s taunts: He once told Tur to be quiet during a news conference; he told pals at Fox & Friends his campaign does not let people talk to Tur because she’s “not a very good reporter”; and, during another of his well-received Media Are Scum spouts at a rally, he told enthusiastic supporters where they could find “Little Katy, third-rate journalist.”

She has been like an embedded reporter behind enemy lines for months now. On the bright side if she survives these dirtbags cheeto will have unwittingly kickstarted her career and made her a household name. Go Katy!

Please get involved and volunteer -stop this insanity. The PT barnum of politics- there is a sucker born every minute. Biggest con job in political history. Don't forget with him we also get his kids Eric and Donald Jr. gloating right beside him(you know since they are such big important self made men). I'm tired of all the victim bullshit, he started out in life on third base and MSM is the one who got him through the primaries, just ask his opponents. I hate arrogant, self-absorbed bullying show offs. VOLUNTEER
