Leland Vittert on hostile attack from Floyd protesters: 'It was something I never thought I would see at the White House'
https://www.foxnews.com/media/fox-news-leland-vittert-on-hostile-scene-of-the-floyd-protests"It was the most scared I have been since being chased out of Tahrir Square by a group from the Muslim Brotherhood," veteran Fox News reporter Leland Vittert recollected Saturday afternoon.
In an interview on "Cavuto LIVE" with host Neil Cavuto, Vittert described how a crowd of angry protesters who had gathered outside the White House early Saturday morning -- incensed both by the death of George Floyd and nationwide racial injustice -- quickly turned on his crew. The harrowing scene was captured on video.
"When you go cover these protests you're expecting, perhaps, for there to be violence. Especially when [there are] going to be clashes with police, but this was different. We were really targeted," he remarked. "Our crew and I -- the crowd turned on us. It was clear that it was organized and then a mob descended on us [and] chased us out of Lafayette Park there."
Leland Vittert was covering the protest near the White House. They were targeted, in which this is planned, not spontaneous.
