A Trump supporter in Long Island, NY (screengrab)
Reporter Kevin Vesey reported on anti-lockdown protests in Commack, New York for News 12 Long Island on Thursday.
"I'll probably never forget what happened today," Vesey posted on Twitter.
"I was insulted. I was berated. I was practically chased by people who refused to wear masks in the middle of a pandemic," he explained.
The video showed a man with a Trump T-shirt and a "Make NY Great Again Sign" who tried to prevent him from filing his report.
"I think you need to back away from me," the reporter said.
"No, I got hydroxychloroquine, I'm fine," he replied.
"I'm just standing here, this guy will not get away from me," he said as a police officer looked on.
"Can you back away?" he pleaded.
"No," the man repeated.
