President Trump’s reelection campaign caught flak Thursday night after a man identified as a rally worker was pictured allegedly trying to block a photographer from capturing footage of a demonstrator.
During the president’s rally in Indiana, where Trump continued to ramp up his attacks against the news media, a man identified as a volunteer member of the president’s advance team can be seen blocking the lens of a photographer.
Evan Vucci, The Associated Press’ chief Washington photographer, posted a photo of the incident on Instagram, saying the photographer was trying to take a photo of a demonstrator at the rally.
The president’s campaign did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill.

Trump: "We as a country cannot tolerate political censorship! We are not going to let them control what we see!"
Only moments before, a Trump aide had physically blocked the lens of a press photographer to prevent him from taking a photo of a protestor. https://t.co/eo7Wn8TARq pic.twitter.com/E7jdEuQCNq
