Even though I do like politics I thank @foxweather for trying to keep them out of their stream. pic.twitter.com/3k0pd2bxbS

As the camera focused on the reporter, who was tossed a set-up question by the station’s anchor, a flag-bearing Trump backer — yelling for all the world to hear — entered the frame.
Before anything could be said about the weather, the camera caught the Trump supporter running along the rain-soaked street, proclaiming something that was largely swept away in the wind.
The reporter, deciding that natural storms were one thing and political ones were a whole different type of disaster waiting to happen, tried to put his hand over the camera as the Trump supporter scurried off to parts unknown after completing his trip across the camera frame.
“We’re gonna have to throw it back to the studio,” the reporter said.
The stunt drew comments with a poster using the name Carley Webster wrote, “Morgan City can’t take nothing serious man … big shoutout to Andrew Jackson for this … keep waving that flag!!
A poster on X who d the video felt differently.
🤣 New small town LEGEND right there!!!

I can only picture a bunch of guys at the local dive, chucking darts and drinking beer. They look outside and see a reporter in front of the camera. One of the guys says “next beer is on me for whoever streaks by the camera with the Trump flag.”
Ol’ Jim says “Hold my beer.”

An X poster using the name The Patriot Dog preferred a less political interpretation.
“I can only picture a bunch of guys at the local dive, chucking darts and drinking beer. They look outside and see a reporter in front of the camera,” he wrote.
“One of the guys says ‘next beer is on me for whoever streaks by the camera with the Trump flag.’ Ol’ Jim says ‘Hold my beer,’” he wrote.
