This is the shameful moment when my cameraman Ron Skeans was attacked by @realdDonaldTrump supporter in El Paso – after the President repeatedly goaded the crowd over supposed media bias. Happily Ron is fine #TrumpElPaso pic.twitter.com/F3pv04fRBg

Let the record show that BBC cameraman Ron Skeans was rescued by a blogger, who pulled the unidentified man away.
“You all right? Everything OK?” President Trump asked the journalist, stopping his remarks, then flashing a thumbs-up sign in Skeans’ direction.
“The crowd had been whipped up into a frenzy against the media by Trump and other speakers all night,” BBC Washington producer Eleanor Montague said.
A campaign official for Mr Trump afterwards suggested the attacker was drunk, which explains everything.
