Fox News reporter Leland Vittert, his cameraman and two security officers were harassed and struck by protesters in Lafayette Park as they covered the demonstration near the White House early on Sa…
, Vittert described how a number of those in the crowd turned their anger on the network, before about 30 to 40 surrounded them to the point where he and his crew banded together to make a brisk exit from the park.
“We were all linked together to try to stay together to push through, and things got a little rough, and somebody chucked it at me and somebody else picked it up and started beating me with it,” Vittert said. He said that in the middle of Lafayette Park they did not spot police officers, and the Secret Service was on the other side of the barricades.
He said that during the evening, they had standing behind the row of protesters who were up against a barricade separating the park from Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House, with the Secret Service lined up on the other side. Vittert said that in contrast to other situations he has been in, “This was not people shouting you down, if you will. This was an organized attack.”
