President Trump’s reelection campaign caught flak Thursday night after a man identified as a rally worker was pictured allegedly trying to block a photographer from capturing footage of a demonstrator.
During the president’s rally in Indiana, where Trump continued to ramp up his attacks against the news media, a man identified as a volunteer member of the president’s advance team can be seen blocking the lens of a photographer.
{mosads}Evan Vucci, The Associated Press’ chief Washington photographer, posted a photo of the incident on Instagram, saying the photographer was trying to take a photo of a demonstrator at the rally.
The president’s campaign did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill.
The incident occurred Thursday night as the president railed against the news media during a rally in support of Republican Senate candidate Mike Braun, who is also seeking to unseat Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) in November.
During the rally, Trump attacked CNN and NBC, calling the latter “worse than CNN.”
The president also went after a New York Times reporter over coverage of his past crowd size, saying the reporter “doesn’t have a clue.”
