The “peaceful protesters” are at it again.
This time they trapped a Fox News reporter in his car after they accused him of “shoving” a female protester.
The incident happened inside Seattle’s “CHAZ/CHOP” communist hellhole, where yet another person was killed recently, and another is in the hospital clinging to life.
A BLM protester by the name of “River” said Fox News Reporter Dan Springer pushed a woman inside the communist zone, telling her to get out of his way.
This prompted the woman to throw her coffee in his face.
As you can imagine, the Fox News reporter tells a slightly different story.

In a statement to DailyMail.com, Nancy Harmeyer, the Vice President of Domestic Bureaus & LA Bureau Chief, FOX News, said: ‘While covering the news just outside of Seattle’s CHOP zone this morning, a protestor confronted FOX News Channel correspondent Dan Springer and his crew after overhearing him cancel a live report due to ”filthy language” in the background.
‘The protestor started yelling at him and threw a cup of coffee in his face and on his jacket. Attempting to de-escalate the situation, the crew returned to their vehicle, which was then surrounded by protestors. Unable to drive away, the crew turned the car off and walked away from the scene.
‘At no point during the situation did the FOX News crew ever physically instigate or retaliate in any way against the protestors.’
River explained the group was protesting Fox News and Springer over the network’s alleged fake news stories aired about CHOP when the incident occurred.
Multiple witnesses said Springer shoved the women, sparking the fight.
For more than 20 minutes protesters were taunting Springer to leave the vehicle and apologize to the women, but he never did.
Instead he stayed inside the car, talking on the phone for most of the time, while his hired security stood outside the vehicle attempting to negotiate with protesters.
At one point, the protesters jumped on the hood of the SUV and placed a barricade in front of it so Springer couldn’t leave the area.

#DEVELOPING [10]: So the man that was in that car got out and started walking away from #CHOP [4].
Protestors followed, swarming. Again, they say he’s an #FNC [11] reporter and that he shoved a female protestor.

#UPDATE [14]: #CHOP [4] Protestors tell me he was followed all the way to the West Precinct on foot. About a mile away. No physical incident occurred. No one injured.
They wanted an apology for what they say happened: A shove and non-racial slur.
He reportedly said nothing. @NBCNews [5] pic.twitter.com/0fzAvSzPFC [15]

It’s worth noting that the murder rate in CHAZ is among the most deadly in the world now.
Great job, Mayor Jenny.
