Journalist asks tough question and gets booted from restaurant holding post-arraignment Trump event
A journalist was kicked out of a Cuban eatery holding a post-indictment gathering for Donald Trump for shouting a tough question at the ex-president.
The BBC’s Sophie Alexander shared her experience on Twitter in a post that includes video of the exchange in which a crowd boos and shouts expletives at her.
The post also includes a photo of a man she alleges shouted an expletive at her from close range.
Alexander is heard in the video saying, “President Trump, are you ready to go to jail?”
The crowd at Versailles restaurant on Southwest Eighth Street in Miami is seen holding their phones high taking video of the event. Loud boos are heard after Alexander shouts the question at Trump with the former president’s supporters yelling, “Get out, out out…”
“I was just thrown out of the Versailles bakery in Miami for asking President Trump if he was ready to go to jail. A man screamed ‘stupid b-tch’ in my face while others said I was a ‘traitor,'" Alexander tweeted.
