More fake news from the Left? Alleged harassment of election workers. I hadn't seen this one before.

Could there be any truth to this? Or is it all played by crisis actors? I don't know. I only just watched this video for the first time. What do you think?

I don’t know if its fake but I wouldn’t put anything past Trump. He’s a loser and a blow hard.

I don't know what to think anymore. It seems anyone who's anyone is going to try to pull the disgtress card, to gain sympathy. Most news anymore seems to be about who can stir up the most drama.

It's too easy to fake things anymore. I can't always tell what's fake and what's not. Personally, I wouldn't put it past Trump or his followers to do this kind of stuff but whether it happened in this case, there's no telling.

I don't think that lady (the reporter) would have reported it if it were fake.

@lovebuglena I don't think FOX or MSNBC make up facts. They would be too easily to falsify. They just "spin" things differently.

It's hard to tell fake news from real news. I'm going to go with fake on this one.

Heh. I'll have to view the video I linked again. Do you believe crisis actors were involved? I don't believe in that stuff.

@just4him Do you think she (the reporter) made it up? She makes a lot of very specific claims that should be verifiable.

@TheHorse I don't believe the reporter. Though I also don't watch the news, so I have no real opinion about it except that I don't believe it.

I'm amazed that so many people think this could be fake. Trump 2024 is still a very real threat.

I am too, honestly, Greg. The thought of "Night of Broken Glass" came to mind as I was listening to/watching the video again. It's a stretch, I know, but that's what came to mind.

I don't remember hearing about this person, however, I remember hearing about suitcases with ballots. I wonder if this video was edited or if it really aired on TV...

I have no clue. This is the first I'd heard of it. Would Trump really call a ballot person out by name, knowing that it would lead to harassment? I am not a Trump fan, but I find that difficult to believe.
