'Get out of here!' Don Jr. snaps at MSNBC 'clown' after tough question on RNC floor
Donald Trump Jr., the son of former President Donald Trump, snapped at MSNBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff during a confrontation at the Republican National Convention.
As convention proceedings were underway on Monday, Soboroff asked Trump what would be different if his father won a second presidential term.
"What practically, your father as president, I think you would even say, was a divisive figure," Soboroff said. "What's it going to look like in the second term?"
"I don't think he was a divisive figure at all," Trump insisted. "I think the media created divisiveness around him. They lied about Russia, Russia collusion. They said he was a traitor."
"If the media actually starts being an honest broker talking about the things that he did, the prosperity he brought, the peace deals that he signed around the world, rather than the disaster that we're living right now, I think you'd do everyone in the country a big favor," he continued.
Soboroff pointed out that immigration was an important topic to the former president.
"Will we continue to see policies like separating 5,000 children deliberately from their parents?" he asked.

"You mean the Obama administration?" Trump shot back.
"You know they didn't do that, sir," the MSNBC reporter said. "Will there be a second family separation policy?"
"It's MSDNC, so I expect nothing less from you clowns," Trump complained. "You couldn't wait with your lies and with your nonsense, so just get out of here."
With that remark, Trump turned and walked away without answering the question.
