A journalist for the British network Sky News was thrown out of the Versailles restaurant and bakery in Miami on Tuesday after asking Donald Trump a question.
International affairs producer Sophie Alexander was booed, grabbed by the arm and told to “get out you stupid bitch” after asking the former president if he was “ready to go to jail.”
Trump visited the Cuban eatery following his arrest and arraignment on a 37-count indictment in the classified documents case.
Alexander shared a video of the abuse on Twitter.
“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 bitch’ in my face while others said I was a ‘traitor,’” Alexander wrote.
“I got out perfectly safely,” the producer added in a second post.
In a blog entry for Sky News, Alexander recalled:
“I tried to step down from the chair I was standing on and a man grabbed my arm before another told him not to touch me. As I was leaving the cafe another yelled ‘stupid b****’ in my face.”
It’s “not surprising perhaps,” Alexander added. “These are the most ardent of Trump supporters in a state where he is seen as King.”
Trump has long attacked the media, labeling reporters “fake news” and “enemies of the people.”
CNN’s Jake Tapper called 2024 presidential candidate Trump’s stop at the restaurant a “campaign ad.”
