Amazing interview with the "Republican against Trump" from the rally ruckus last night.

[DemsUnited]

Done shortly after the harrowing incident - Austyn Crites is almost as impressive as Mr. Khan.

1. He was an extremely brave, or perhaps foolish person, in that crowd. He is fortunate to

still be here. I believe there are more republican cross over votes that are difficult to factor in, especially among republican women

[Cha]

4. I called him brave earlier.. a repub who took one for

the Team.. That would be keeping American Sane!

"Crites cited Trump’s treatment of Mexicans, Muslims and women as the reason he decided to protest again Trump, who he described as “a textbook version of a dictator and a fascist”.

"He added: “The people who attacked me – I’m not blaming them. I’m blaming Donald Trump’s hate rhetoric.”

“My heart still aches for what this nation could potentially do by electing him,” he added. “That hurts me much more than any of this violence.”

“The fact that I got beat up today, that’s just showing what he’s doing to his crowds. But I just want people to understand I’m going to be OK, but now what’s more important is if the country going to be OK? So do your part and vote.”

5. Trump instructed crowd "Take him out" and they started beating a guy to death.

Police intervened and saved the guy. Then they held him in a bathroom for two hours, keeping him away from the press and reporters.

I'm trying to find a short video clip of Trump saying,

"We have one of those guys from the Hillary Clinton campaign. How much you being paid, fifteen hundred dollars? Alright, take him out."

No luck yet, but the full rally tape is online, and the clip starts at 1h 52m 20s.

Just imagine how much safer the situation would've been, if everybody in the room had a gun.

7. Yes, I say Austyn Crites is a hero, a gift from the Universe.

He certainly has trump's number.. poor guy had no idea he would be attacked like that for holding a sign.

trump caused it and then he tells everyone he survived an assassination attempt.. there's nothing lower on the face of the Earth than him.

Like someone said.. This isn't the Closing message they would have hoped for.. because I don't think we've seen the last of Mr Crites.. he even forgives his attackers. Nice guy.

Thank you for all the pics and the info, Coyotl

[Coyotl]

8. Austyn Crites clearly has a major lawsuit against Trump for (de)famation and inciting violence.

How do you argue that saying you work for Hillary is defamation?

He looks a lot safer here, on his way to being held in a bathroom for two hours, away from the press and media, and the Trump mob.

[Cha]

10. All that fire power for a republican for Hillary @ a trump

rally. This kinda highlights how vicious and dangerous they are.. with trump as the head of the snake.

That weird how he had to be kept in the bathroom for 2 hours, btw!

[brer cat]

16. Good goddess, Cha!

The first men in that image look like they belong on the front line in a war, not in an American city for a political rally!! What trump has done is indeed vicious and dangerous.

I am only responding here, but you had good posts upthread as well.

[Cha]

17. I know, brer.. it's shocking! I may seem calm

but I'm not. Don't imagine you or any of us are. It's surreal, especially the way he incites it with his stupidity and then lies about "the assassination attempt".

And, these poor idiots who are brainwashed by him.. just like KO says.. he doesn't have to wonder how hitler rose to power.. he sees something like that happening right here in America.

Thank you, brer.

18. ...

[Cha]

21. ..

Just got back online.

To the good news! That comey got off his ass and did something

No criminality in Clinton emails - FBI

[brer cat]

27. Two more days, Cha.

We can make it for two more days, although the stress is awful. The news today was great but he is still an a-hole!

[Cha]

28. Yeah, 2 more days with a much better outlook! Have you seen this?

ffr

brer! Oh yeah, Comey sounds like he's trying to cover his ass big time!

[brer cat]

29. No, I hadn't seen it.

Good for PBO. He can do a great put down.

[Cha]

30. I know one thing.. you cannot make this shite up!

[Coyotl]

20. And they continue generating their alternate "assassination reality" today on Twitter

Twitter is still awash with the assassination attempt by Hillary. YouTube is truth polluted too, just search Trump Reno.
Note how the Secret Service guy is keeping his head down, screw Trump, just don't shoot me.

Tids ?@Tids_tweet
Donald Trump rushed off stage by Secret Service agents as cops escort protester out of Reno rally

Now, compare with the Photoshop version the Trumpers are distributing:



Here is the absolutely most delusional piece of crap ever posted online:

[Cha]

22. OMG! They should have had a better look on trump's face than

"Relax, idiots, I ordered this up.. like my work?"

[Coyotl]

23. LOL. They also has some bot screwups as they were pushing "Reno" to trend.

Not the bot accounts don't have entire faces, all post the same exact thing, all forgot the link. These are not people, they are a computer program.

[Cha]

24. Poor trump!

Thank you for that, Coyotl

[Lucinda]

25. I know...it looks like he's enjoying it....Weird choice to make!

[Cha]

26. Shit eating grin.. but they're not smart they're trump

fans.

Lucinda!

[UCmeNdc]

14. Look at that picture! That is Trump's America!

That is exactly how Trump will rule if he becomes president. Protest and you will have five policemen on you.

[UCmeNdc]

15. Looks like a military police state! Trump's America!

[madaboutharry]

2. Lawerence O'Donnell is going to have a special edition of his program tonight.

I have no doubt he is on the phone with this man right now. I hope we see him interviewed this evening with Larry O',

[BSdetect]

6. Temprement?

Another drumph fail.

Scared of a sign?

Great reaction to a non violent single person.

What a commander.

[nolabear]

11. If only more Republicans were like this man we might work together. Instead...

[nolabear]

12. If you do a FB check on his name there are some scary postings threatening him

and claiming alkyds of conspiratorial crap about him. They're putting out personal info and making false Wikileaks claims.

This is one more example of the attempted takeover of the government by any means necessary.

[NastyRiffraff]

13. Mr. Crites needs to change parties

I realize that's a difficult thing to do, but really, his Republican party no longer exists. It's now the Trump party, something the GOP has been lurching towards for decades.

In a Trump presidency (shudder) NO protests against him will be allowed. His deplorables will skip the courts and beat up anyone who tries to speak out.

[Coyotl]

19. Better yet, he needs to lead Republicans back to sanity.

For the sake of all of us.

[ILFightinDem]

31. I was thinking this as well, when I first saw him interviewed...

Wondering if he was reachable... I heard him say "there were a lot of Hillary Clinton's policies I don't agree with".

Hope he doesn't go Third Way - that helps no one.
