Trump rally-goer zapped with stun gun and arrested after storming media area: report

An attendee of former President Donald Trump's rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, was zapped with a stun gun, subdued by police and arrested after storming the press area, according to a report.

The incident happened moments after Trump slammed major news outlets over what he felt was unfavorable coverage and dismissed CNN as fawning in its Thursday interview with Kamala Harris, according to The Associated Press.

The rally-goer reportedly "made it over a bicycle rack ringing the media area, and began climbing the back side of a riser where television reporters and cameras were stationed ... People near him tried to pull him off the riser and were quickly joined by police officers."

Trump, who saw police leading the man away, quipped, “Is there anywhere that’s more fun to be than a Trump rally?”

This comes over a month after an attempted assassination at a Trump rally in western Pennsylvania in which a gunman opened fire from the roof of a nearby warehouse, killing and injuring members of the crowd and almost assassinating the former president, who escaped with an ear wound.

Trump has made attacking the press a core part of his political campaign ever since his initial 2016 run, where he proclaimed reporters who criticized him to be an "enemy of the people."

He has grown particularly frustrated with the press ever since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and was replaced with Harris, who has broadly received more favorable media coverage owing in part to the novelty and excitement being generated among Democratic voters.
