The Hillary Clinton supporter at the center of the incident that sparked the Secret Service to rush Donald Trump off a Reno, Nevada rally stage claims he’s a Republican who was just holding a sign.
Austyn Crites, 33, was holding a “Republicans Against Trump” sign when he found himself in the center of the commotion. On Facebook, he refers to Trump as a fascist and a dictator and admits he’s supporting Clinton.
Crites, who was questioned and later released, was rushed out of the Nevada rally by law enforcement in a dramatic scene as Secret Service agents suddenly pulled Trump off stage when someone shouted “gun.” However, no gun was found.
One reporter said that people might have mistaken a sign Crites was holding for a weapon. Crites told a BBC reporter he was “saved” by the police. The incident comes as the polls are very tight in Nevada, with Trump leading slightly in the margin of error in polling averages and ahead by more in recent polls, but early voting tallies leading some experts to predict the state will go for Clinton. If Trump loses Nevada, his pathway to the presidency gets a lot tougher.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. Crites Says on Facebook That He’s Voting for Hillary Clinton & Calls Trump a Fascist
Crites’ Facebook page indicates that he’s a Republican who is voting for Hillary Clinton. Shortly after the incident at the rally, Crites replaced the cover photo with one of an American flag. The original cover photo referred to Nevada Republicans proudly voting for Clinton. See:
Crites’ Facebook cover photo.
A short time after the rally incident, Crites posted on Facebook that he voted for Clinton, canvassed for her, and donated money to her, and called Trump a fascist. He wrote in part, “Though I do not agree with many of Hillary’s policies, we cannot allow a fascist/dictator to take our beloved freedoms to simply boost his ego and ‘get back’ at anyone who disagrees. Take what happened to me tonight as a classic example of dictator incitement of violence – against your own Republican brother with a stupid sign.”
People filled his comment thread with insults and name calling, with one calling him a “Clinton mole.” Crites changed his Facebook page profile picture to say “Beat But Never Broken”:
On November 4, the day before the rally, he wrote on Facebook, “Time to get out and vote y’all!
I understand that this election has people torn, but we must chose HOPE over HATE!”
Some of his Facebook comments to friends are in Spanish. Crites’ page only has two posts on it.
Clinton vs. Trump: Seven Ways Donald Trump Could Win
2016 presidential polls are tightening, but the electoral math is tough for Donald Trump. However, Clinton vs. Trump isn't over. Here are seven ways he could win.

Although some Trump supporters have speculated that Crites could be a Democratic plant, Crites has been registered to vote as a Republican in Nevada since 2011.
One man with the same last name as Crites wrote on Facebook after the rally, “Bro, we support you. It’s a sad day when a devout republican, eagle scout, lover of our country and all that it stands for, stands up again a threat to our nation, and get’s his ass beat as a result. We love you and back your decision to voice your concern!”
After the incident, some Trump supporters raised the Project Veritas undercover video allegations from earlier in the year that allegedly showed Democratic operatives planting people to incite violence at Trump rallies. As CNN put it, “an edited video suggested that he (Robert Creamer) and other staffers hired people to attend Donald Trump’s campaign rallies and incite violence.” The “he” refers to Robert Creamer, a prominent Democratic operative who had visited the White House many times and was assisting the Democratic National Committee with the Clinton campaign.
However, there is no evidence that Crites is tied to any of that and, as noted, records show he’s been registered as a Republican since before Trump announced he was running for president.
Internet sleuths quickly found the name “Austyn Crites” in a WikiLeaks file:
Some in the media blamed Trump for the climate at his rallies.
The Clinton campaign has denied being involved in planting people to incite violence at Trump rallies.

In 2014, NWI.com said Crites was involved in a local startup that was “hoping to give regular people the chance to start their own ‘space program’ with its high-altitude balloons, capable of floating as high as 80,000 feet.”
LiveScience said of Crites, who ran a company called RockZip: “Like Ford before him, Crites seeks to revolutionize an industry that’s been around for a while.” Crites called his work a “new space movement.”
Online information about Crites describes his passion as balloons, not politics.
On LinkedIn, Crites says he is a “professional in cutting-edge aerospace inflatable design and manufacturing.” He also says he graduated from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

Supporters and media get into a bit of a shoving match while tensions are high after Secret Service escorted a man out of a Trump rally. Trump was rushed off stage after supporters pointed out someone who looked very suspicious. (Getty)
Within five minutes, the Republican nominee returned to the stage after thanking the Secret Service and promised not to be deterred. He later released a statement:
CNN said the incident started because an “unidentified individual” shouted “gun” in the audience, adding that a “thorough search” resulted in no weapon being found.
Trump’s son retweeted a tweet referring to the incident as an assassination attempt.
The Secret Service statement does not indicate that Trump was ever really in danger.
5. Crites Told a Reporter He Was Punched & Kicked & Feared for His Life

A Guardian reporter, Paul Lewis, posted details from an interview he did with Crites:
Crites told NBC16 “When I pulled out the sign, people around me were trying to grab the sign. And so all that was occurring was booing, of course, that’s what you would expect.”
He told the TV station the situation suddenly escalated: “…bam, I get tackled by all these people who were just, like, kicking me and grabbing me in the crotch and just, just beating the crap out of me.” Then, he said, somebody yelled about a gun and “things really got out of hand.”
Crites also gave an interview to the BBC.

I’m curious if you’re trying to verify the story circulating around that, according to Wikileaks, he’s a paid DNC operative, because if true, that is a very, very big deal.
According to Wikileaks, he bought a book. And… that’s it.
As a coincidence, it strains credulity. It’s what has happened since I posted above that makes me thoroughly doubt the “innocent protester” angle. First, he edited his Facebook profile to remove obvious pro-Hillary stuff and then, after posting a note about tonight’s incident and saying he had *no* ties to the Clinton campaign, he deleted his social media when the Wikileaks material began to surface. None of that behavior is in keeping with someone who is nothing more than a civic-minded protester.
Right on
Exactly.
His name appears in Wikileaks in a 2012 dump of some five million emails from Stratfor corporation. The quote below is from the Wikileaks overview of “The Global Intelligence” files, which mentions no ties to Clinton or other political figures..
“On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered “global intelligence” company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal’s Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor’s web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.”

He is not a regular person, a regular person would not order a book from an intelligence firm. The book has been listed in Amazon and other places.
BTW: The book “The Next Decade” is written by the founder of intelligence firm Strafor, George Friedman, who was born in Budapest, Hungary to Jewish parents who survived the Holocaust. Remind you of someone?
Y’all are so irresponsible. How does him buying a book strain credulity? It isn’t even a politically motivated work. Stratfor seems pretty apolitical, and it looks like you’ll find an equal amount of people accusing them of shilling for both the far-right and the far-left.
I’m all for skepticism but how do you find the confidence to accuse this man of these things based on the flimsiest evidence? He came out directly and told the media he is supporting Hillary. He came to a Trump rally holding a sign making his position very clear. He doesn’t seem to be shying away from the fact that he supports Hillary so there wouldn’t be any real reason for him to hide it on Facebook, would there?
As for deleting his social media accounts, you can’t think of a single other legitimate reason a person in his situation would do that? Say a group of rabid conspiracy theorists who might be calling for his head? His home address is listed in that Wikileaks post. I wouldn’t blame him at all if he just wanted to pull his info down to make himself a little less accessible for the time being.
Be suspicious, that’s fine. Look for legitimate info to support your suspicions. Don’t make crazy accusations about someone just because you don’t like what they have to say.
Here is the thing. IMO anyone who comes to a Trump rally who is not a Trump supporter is not very bright to say the least and is only looking for trouble and they are the one inciting it. I’ve been to some grassroots Trump rallies, and people come to our rally looking for trouble. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be there. Trump supporters don’t go out looking for them.
Here is the thing. IMO anyone who comes to a Trump rally is not very bright to say the least.
Another Hillary Hypocrite in the company of those who are not bright enough to know they aren’t very smart at all. I once heard them referred to as the “Bumbling Elitists.”
An example of the way many report “quotes”, by mis-quoting what is said to support one’s own narrative… Can appreciate the sarcasm tho!
lol,…that’s exactly how we feel about you cult members on the left.
“I’ve been to some grassroots Trump rallies, and people come to our rally looking for trouble. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be there.” you do know what you are saying here dont you. you are saying all the people at trump rallies are there lookinf for trouble.
and then you say “Trump supporters don’t go out looking for them.” but you just sayed that, they go too rallies for trouble.
@colleen4ca Oh really? So where should a protester go? Look at the history of political protests — any protest, whether Democratic, Republican, liberal, conservative or whatever — to see how stupid your comment is. So were the Woolworth protesters “not very bright” when they fought for racial equality? Was Rosa Parks stupid? How about the lone man who confronted tanks at Tienenman Square? Or Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi? History sees them as heroes. Brave souls who dared to express their conscience where it was unpopular. You see them as stupid.
I guess in your America — aka Trump’s America — the First Amendment no longer exist. All witnesses say that Austyn Crites merely held a sign: “REPUBLICANS AGAINST TRUMP.” He did not yell, did not create a disturbance, did not disrupt, did not debate. That is inviting trouble??? Why didn’t Trump supporters just ignore him — as adults should do? Or is your America — aka Trump’s America — so brainlessly conformist and homogenized that differences are automatically beaten down? I know that facts and a college EDUCATION are often lacking in Trump rallies, but that’s no excuse for not educating yourself. Learn some history, and you’d see the resemblance to the rallies of Hitler, Mao, Stalin, etc and their pitchfork mob mentality.
But I’m not surprised by your attitude, given Trump’s history Remember the Muslim woman who was threatened and ejected for merely wearing a shirt that said, “I COME IN PEACE”? Like Austyn, she merely stood there in the audience, in respectful silence. How about C.J. Cary, a Trump SUPPORTER who was ejected from his rally simply because he was Black? Trump even called him a “thug.” Trump and his supporters condemned Cary as an enemy based this on nothing more than that he was Black. Would a white attendee have been accused of the same thing simply for yelling, “Donald!”? Of note, Cary spent about $1000 of pro-Trump signs for his lawn, many of which got stolen.
Contrast Trump’s dictatorial [over]reaction with what Obama did. When Clinton supporters started booing a elderly protester, Obama silenced them. Then he pointed out the man’s age and military uniform, saying both deserved respect. That led to cheers of agreement from the crowd. Indeed, Obama explicitly stated that the man had every right to be there and protest. Because this is America. But apparently, it’s not Trump’s America. Nor yours.
What is Trump and his supporters so afraid of? THINK about it.
” … What is Trump and his supporters so afraid of? …” Assassination.
Watergate started with the flimsiest of evidence. Look where that went.
And Hillary stole and destroyed evidence act look it up
my first instinct was definitely ZioNazi
What was the name of the book????
It looks like he ordered 1500. That’s a good way to launder money.
many of which got “stolen”…. hmmmm…… you might be on to something

WIkileaks is anti-Clinton, nevalha. So, what’s your point?
Isn’t the same Wikileaks that was anti-Bush some years ago? In which, Democrats/libertards were so aghast about the leaks? Hypocrite much? Thought so…
nope, not the same. the inner circle of that wikileaks turned their back on assange in 2011
You loved them when they outed George Bush didn’t you? So what is your point?
Oh, no. Heavy is always biased and hates Trump. They are very good at twisting the truth to fiction. They only try to prove Trump is the “bad guy.”
Have some sense: If this were all a dastardly Dem scheme, then why on earth would the guy voluntarily give his real name to the media, and such a distinctive, easily searchable name at that? And why on earth would the Dems carry out a publicity ploy that’d go out as “Trump survives assassination attempt!” on social media?
And why would it be such a “very, very big deal,” anyway? No one’s produced any footage of him actually inciting the violence he suffered, and no one’s produced evidence he had a weapon or threatened Trump in any way, so the worst-case scenario is a guy got paid to protest and got his ass tackled by frenzied rally-goers. His interview with The Guardian did have kind of a prepared quality, I’ll grant you that, but it doesn’t mean he was in anyone’s pocket. Paid or not, his story is that he prefers Clinton to Trump, no subterfuge there. As for his Facebook, when I saw it there was only one post on it and I figured it was a fake someone had set up when the story came out (happens sometimes), but if Heavy is correct that it was legit, then he probably was getting a ton of heat from Trump supporters there and edited/deactivated his profile to spare himself that.
Oh, I dunno…So he can collect his check from the Clinton Foundation? Yup, I bet that’s it!
Was that w real story, or one that Wikileaks made up, like most of the emails. Wikileaks is no linger credible. they went from publisher of whistle blower documents, to political pawns of character assassination hacks and outright fabrications.
If the federal government did to a private citizen what Wikileaks now does, there would be public outcry. There has been public outcry over less when involving government.
Can you name one fabrication by Wikileaks? You might be thinking of how a publication misinterpreted their data, but there is no proof, nor even a serious claim by a reputable media source, that anything Wikileaks has published has been fabricated. What we do have is Donna Brazile trying to claim they have, while having a meltdown and calling herself a persecuted Christian. ;)
http://clickscrowd.com/
seriously, you think someone would actually pay a guy to get beat up at a Trump Rally? There is no need to do that, there are plenty of people getting beat up at Trump rallies for free.
lol “according to wikileaks” he was a subscriber on a company’s newsletter. Nice story.
Put this guys name in the wikileaks search bar, it came up 7 times. Try it.
He’s in Wikileaks “Global Intelligence Files”

6 of the 7 hits seem to actually refer to him and all seem to come from the same leak when Stratfor, a company that apparently does publishing and intelligence was hacked. It looks like the documents just prove that he ordered the book “The Next Decade” from them.
While not necessarily meaningless, it seems fairly likely it has no real significance to this issue.
He is not a regular person, a regular person would not order a book from an intelligence firm. The book has been listed in Amazon and other places.
BTW: The book “The Next Decade” is written by the founder of intelligence firm Strafor, George Friedman, who was born in Budapest, Hungary to Jewish parents who survived the Holocaust. Remind you of someone?
It’s a New York Times bestseller… I guess my your logic, there are a lot of non-“regular” people out there… LOL
Actually, I’m pretty sure there aren’t a lot of regular people spending $25K on a political book that outlines how to lead a nation with lies. That’s how much an order for 1500 copies of that book costs and that’s how many copies he ordered. I’m willing to bet it doesn’t sound quite so regular anymore. Am I right?
Oh, and that’s just for his first order. That doesn’t count the digital copy or the next 3 additional orders because it doesn’t say how many were ordered those times.
Bro. I’m a trump supporter but I’m pretty sure you’re looking at the unique key number. You know, the row number in excel. Just wanted to correct you before I see this and a stupid meme sent around FB and Reddit. Thanks! Go trump.
You do realize that Crites didn’t just order a book, right? He ordered 1500 copies of a very particular political book that retails for $16.30. With taxes and shipping, that’s a $25K order for a book full of very some disturbing political views about the next ten years of the US presidency and foreign affairs. If you’re not familiar with the book, here’s a few excerpts regarding how much deceit is acceptable for a democratic leader.
‘It is the president’s job to align with public opinion .. while quietly pursuing his own moral and strategic ends.’
‘… he must always convey a sense that the elimination of Islamist terrorism is possible, all the while knowing it is not.’
‘To many Americans, these appear to be critical issues … they must not be told that their sense of what is important doesn’t matter…’
‘… all presidents must in all things hide their true motives and vigorously deny the truth when someone recognises what they are up to.’
To me this sounds like more than just a coincidence about a guy buying a book but that’s just my opinion.
Did you actually open the file? I only looked at the tiny preview window since I’m not looking to open an xls coming from WikiLeaks, but I think you are mistaken about what happened here. Based on the previews, it appears there are only two orders actually being placed (the names that come before him are identical for the two separate files.
… Lane”,,”Burke”,”220152573″,”VA”,”7032501133″ “Austyn Crites”,”1035 Munley Dr.”,,”Reno”,”89503 … there is this one that seems to be multiple copies of the same file title RE: Additional Order. That appears three times
… “,”Newtown Square”,”PA”,”19073″,”6103611172″ “Austyn Crites”,”1035 Munley Dr.”,”Reno”,”NV … This one appears twice, and one time is titled ‘customers shipped a copy of TND thru 01312011.xls’ while the other is titled ‘Order of 1500 copies of The Next Decade January 18 2011’ which I believe is where you got the idea that he ordered 1500 copies himself.
Feel free to open and verify if you’d like to. Be aware that xls files can contain malware before you do that. In any case, my assumption would be that it was an xls file containing a total of 1500 orders of the book based on two facts. One, there is at least one other address in the file, which would indicate the file contains multiple customers. Two, given that it is a spreadsheet, that would suggest it was being used to store a collection of data and not information on one person’s book order.
The best info I could find without opening it was doing a search for the prior address to see if I could get the preview to move backwards in the file a bit and I got this … “… “Austin Davis”,”940 Beverly Lane”,”Newtown Square”,”PA”,”19073″,”6103611172″ “Austyn … Brian Glancey”,”4 colts neck drive”,”newtown”,”PA”,”18940″,”2154998799″ “Brian … 491608930690” “Gerald Rorer”,”761 Newtown Road”,”Villanova”,”PA”,”190851027″,”6106884626 …
This definitely looks like 1500 individual orders and not an order for 1500 copies. Actually, if you search for other names from the file, it looks like you learn two interesting facts. One, these names also appear on both documents Austyn appears on suggesting that he in fact probably only ordered the book once, and these are simply two different files being used to keep track of orders from that period. The second fact, which is less interesting, is that some of these orders that have been leaked are coming from Amazon purchases, which suggests publishers are either given info from Amazon purchases, or they were at one point selling the book themselves through Amazon, which would maybe assuage some concerns another commentor had about Austyn having ordered a book directly from Stratfor (who don’t actually appear to offer the book for sale on their website anyway).
Bro. I’m a trump supporter but I’m pretty sure you’re looking at the unique key number. You know, the row number in excel. Just wanted to correct you before I see this and a stupid meme sent around FB and Reddit. Thanks! Go trump.
Please accept my apologies in advance if my ignorance and haste inspire a stupid meme to be circulated on social media. lol
Yes, I guess I did assume too much. I’d tried to open the file a few times before I posted my comment but I’m running a Linux system and it’s never dealt well with that file format. Mostly, my computer just freezes up and requires a reboot. I just managed to open it now though and I saw the top page of names before I had to reboot again. I won’t try it again but I’ll definitely take your word for it that I’ve made a serious error about the size of his order.
I love a sane voice. Thanks for taking the time.
“Sane voice” comment was directed at “Anonymous” who said, “Did you actually open the file…” and gave his interpretation of the data he saw.
“Sane voice” comment was meant for “Anonymous” who said, “Have you actually opened the file” and gave his interpretation of the data.
look at you using facts and stuff, this is America and we need a good conspiracy or we dont give a shit
It’s just a Hellary minion attempting to take the focus off of the fact that she’s gonna get her big fat ass kicked to high heaven by Trump on Tuesday! lol Trump 2016!
Sounds like a set up.
This guy is a hero. Glad to see there are Republicans brave enough to stand up to toxic Trump.
His name is in the DNC wikileaks, he is a paid DNC operative. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/11/05/clinton-thug-attempts-to-rush-trump-on-stage-in-reno-nevada-crowd-and-secret-service-intercept-video/ I’m sure he’s still a “hero” to you, but call him what he is.
Yet, you won’t post under your name. If voting for Hillary is his solution, then he surely isn’t brave at all. He wants a known liar, and corrupt woman in the White House that is a under investigation for national security breaches, and for pay to play in regard to her foundation? You respect that? He can call himself a Republican all he wants to, and I can call myself Elvis Presley, but guess what I am no more Elvis Presley than he is a Democrat. A REAL Republican would NEVER vote for a corrupt grifter. He didn’t stand up to anyone. He came to a rally to incite trouble, IMO, or he would NOT have been there. He had to have known that he would NOT have been welcomed. He wasn’t too bright, IMO, to show up. It kind of reminds me of the dimwit that showed up at our grassroots Trump rally today. There is an area with sign and materials to make signs. So, she walks over to the area and uses OUR material to make an anti-Trump sign then attempts to stand with the crowd. Trump supporters DO NOT come looking for these people, they COME looking for the supporters. If that isn’t looking for trouble, than I don’t know what is.
I meant Republican not Democrat.
How about leave point #6 … his name appears in the DNC Wikileaks. Likely a paid birddogger. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/11/05/clinton-thug-attempts-to-rush-trump-on-stage-in-reno-nevada-crowd-and-secret-service-intercept-video/
Actually there are 6 facts you need to know & the first one should be the fact that he came up on wikileaks,.
Hey, you left out that he is named on Clinton’s payroll in Wikileaks.
Donald is that you?
He’s a Stratfor agent. He wasn’t just found in any WikiLeaks file. He was found in the Stratfor files & on a spreadsheet listing their agents. Surely he could make his gun disappear. Or maybe the unidentified person who yelled “gun,” was in on it.
Or maybe he yelled, “GUN”, himself?
Wow you’re really living in a fantasy land. It takes two minutes to verify any of this info, could you not be bothered to look up the info and apply any amount of critical thinking to what you were seeing? The man purchased a book or multiple copies of a book called “The Next Decade” from a publisher/intelligence firm called Stratfor. There is no document showing he is an agent, although if you want to pretend this list of book buyers are all secret agents feel free, but keep reading and we can see how little sense that makes.
Stratfor was founded by George Friedman. As others have pointed out, he is the child of holocaust survivors, but I’m not sure what the hell that is even supposed to mean. The Major General that organized the letter from the 88 Generals that support Trump was himself a holocaust survivor. Is it just some casual antisemitism there?
In any case, Friedman considers himself to be “hard right” politically speaking, so if he were a Stratfor agent, it would make zero sense for him to be working for Hillary.
Looks like there were several people in on it , to me. Doubt there was a gun just, just used the situation to set up a chance to cry foul. If there had been a gun the people who pinned him would be called hero’s.
What an idiot this guy is. Our country is not a dictatorship, it’s a republic. It’s impossible for Trump to be a dictator.
The German Reich was a republic (a.k.a. the Weimar Republic) when Hitler took over.
He’s a paid hillery shill
Check his bank accounts. Follow the influx of money.
Was he unidentified man that yelled gun
Don’t give him too much credit for being an entrepreneur. Two different companies (Rockzip, Panberri) you can find him linked to as to his “aerospace” interests do not even have websites. You can find a kickstarter campaign with which he raised ~$15K but there is nothing to show for it. He was living in Michigan City, Indiana in 2014, according to many sources you can find, including that being where Rockzip was founded, by him. The article confirming that, by like the Indiana small business development site, shows a photo Crites’ company took from a whole 500 feet up. um… Now he seems to be back in Reno after bailing on that project. Which calls into question whether he was ever really involved in them.
Democrat operatives at it again. Thank you Wikileaks!
Of course expect the the top-tier MSM to cover this up while the 2nd tier MSM and rootless globalists while attempt to downplay this information.
If they try to offload you with the “buying the book” remember the Jo Cox murder in June 2016. The media was from the get go saying this guy was ‘far-right’ and ‘anti-EU’ at the very start,before any other information came out, based on the guy being an ex subscriber to a magazine ‘SA Patriot’.
The 1500 “books” this guy bought was probably just to a way to mask an illicit donation to Hillary’s campaign. Red flags everywhere.
Don’t go by what I said. I was wrong about the number of books he purchased. I’d delete my comment altogether but I don’t see any delete button.
Hilarious that this so called article states the project Veritas videos were ” edited”. They brag about paying operatives to pull this crap… They incite violence and are proud of it… Why are Dems ALL such scumbags and perhaps a few aren’t but they are “ignorant and compliant” just like their masters want them to be

Soros found another stooge to cause trouble. Anyone who wants filthy corrupt & dishonest Hillary is not a true Republican, just a RINO or worse.
paid protestor geez they just won’t stop
So… most likely whoever yelled “GUN” is an accomplice. No doubt this is staged just like the other events. He has no blemishes on him… the poor sod,
Go here, search the attachment for Crites. https://wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/24/246912_re-additional-order-.html He’s known in the intel community
OMG ! donald trump survives an assassination attempt. He did not flinch under a hail of gunfire , pulled out his own gun and took out a Leftie-Neocon terrorist sent by Hillary (corrupt media won’t show you this footage) .
According to reliable sources (alex jones & infowars ) , he even threw himself on top of a grenade to protect his supporters. Fortunately the grenade did not explode. All hail Dear Leader for surviving multiple assassination attempts and selflessly protecting his supporters.
Really? I must have missed that part. Woohoo. Go Trump!
You missed that part, as did everyone in the facility, including the Secret Service and Trump himself.
No, that was hillary’s recollection of the event.
Trump must be a bad MO FO!
TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT !
If this man was for real, he wouldn’t have a fake Facebook page to promote his actions. https://www.facebook.com/austyn.crites.9
Austin Crites and Voter Fraud !!!! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CwjwTYAUQAAgWkU.jpg
Primaries are closed in Nevada
Voters may or may not choose to affiliate with a political party, however, affiliation with a party is required to vote in primary elections.
#FYI
Plenty of Democrats enroll as Republicans specifically to weaken the primary selection process.
from the live feed and now on tape at right side broadcasting, his story doesn’t hold up. For someone who claims they aren’t political, he went to the trouble of going to this rally with the clear intent of being disruptive (wither he was encouraged to do so or not). Just having the “Republican” registration doesn’t mean anything. it’s how one behaves that makes one Republican or not. He’s entitled to vote for whomever he wants, presuming he’s properly registered to vote — but his actions show he’s a political activist for Hillary.
HEAVY.com you are full of SHIT this scumbag was outed as a hillary supporter in wikileaks, a BIRD DOG sent to stir up troulbe like the others. you have LOST ALL CREDIBILITY with me.
HEAVY you have lost ALL CREDIBILITY…he is a hillary supporter and he was sent by the hillary campaign to cause trouble, just like all the other that were outed in the wikileaks.
Jessica nice article. Also nice pic . 😎
He read some book, now he thinks he has it all figured out and Trump is a fascist. He has it twisted!
Balloon Boy needed attention.
Austyn Crites is just another Hillary supporter agitator…..since he openly supports Hillary and is voting for her there was no other reason for him to be at the Trump rally unless he wanted to cause trouble……those are the facts and he and he alone is to blame for what happened.
You seem like an apologist for this d-bag. Why do you think Crites name was on the Hillary e-mail wikileaks documents? No wonder Google is pushing this pathetic page.
Crites name was not on the Hillary Wikileaks documents. It appears in 7 emails that are part of a 2012 “Global Intelligence” dump of emails from the Texas headquartered Stratfor. For more see the link below, or look through earlier posts made here by Anonymous, among others.
On the other hand, I’m sure The Donald’s name appears in many Clinton-related Wikileaks dumps. Is he perhaps the d-bag you refer to?
Oops; here’s the link. https://search.wikileaks.org/?query=%22austyn+crites%22&exact_phrase=&any_of=&exclude_words=&document_date_start=&document_date_end=&released_date_start=&released_date_end=&new_search=True&order_by=most_relevant#results
Like an unceasing tide of idiocy, these claims never relent.
Here’s what you need to do;
1) Go to the Wikileaks search page.
2) Type in Austyn Crites.
3) Read the results you get back from said search.
You understand that Wikileaks isn’t a site dedicated to exposing Hillary Clinton, right? The leak with Austyn’s name came from 2011 when Anonymous hacked a company called Stratfor and has nothing to do with Clinton. Stratfor is an intelligence company that also publishes books. Austyn purchased one of their books and was listed on two separate spreadsheets containing order information. Before you reply “Stratfor is an intelligence company working with Hillary to cheat Trump!”, the founder of Stratfor considers himself to be “hard right” on the political spectrum so it seems unlikely. Other people choose to believe the man ordered 1500 copies of the book because they managed to read the title of one the spreadsheets without realizing that he was one of 1500 other orders on that spreadsheet.
I too want hope over hate, that’s why I’m voting Trump.
Austyn needs to update his FB page cuz it sure looks like he’s a Killary supporter.
Yeah we know. Couldn’t turn down $1500
There is no $1500. You’re thinking of 1500 books. The Wikileaks document showed that he had ordered a book from a company that was hacked in 2011. The document showed 1500 orders, of which his was one.
There is no evidence that suggests he was paid to do any of this.
He openly supports Hillary, as you might expect from someone who went to a rally with a Republicans Against Trump sign.
$1500
Those who tackled Crites should be investigated. I suspect that they were part of a planned skit to make Trump supporters appear to be zealots.
How stupid this man is. How he expected to be embraced and celebrated by his action in a place that he has not business to do? Is like me walking into a Starbucks place crowded with coffee lovers, holding a sign not supporting their business. Or even worse, walking into a Muslim mosque holding a cross or a picture of Jesus or a sign reading Christian against Mohamed. Frankly, ignorance has limits. Yes we had protesters like Rosa Park and others, just measure the intention of each one.
I am not happy that he was bitten, but we live in days where people do craziest things and in this case, people did not take a chance. I am glad he did not have a gun, but how if he had one? My questions, was all of this planned to discredit Trump’s campaign? Was his actions only limited to hold a sign? Honestly, after what we have seen taking place here and around the world, people had no choice but to react and protect themselves. Mr. Crites, you only harvested what you planted. My advice is you always counsel yourself with others to make sure your ideas will not yield disastrous results. Not always my plans are the best plans, in your case, admit it, this was not only a good plan but something I will label, “the most stupid plan”. Ah remember, you can always exercise your freedom of speech, but remember, it has to be at the right place at the right time. Wishing you the best during this mess you created to yourself, you alone; or did someone help you?
The reality is if even a Clinton supporter tried rushing the stage at a Hillary event the secret service would not allow them to get 10 feet. They would be held in a choker hold arms held back and pinned the ground, searched, handcuffed and removed for questioning. That is just the world we live in. I don’t feel sorry for this guy, he went looking for trouble and got it. I’m sure by this afternoon we will more about him than we should.
Did you find out Crites has his dead grandmother voting using his home address in Reno?
Grandma’s not dead yet. She was interviewed yesterday by The Guardian, at her home in Nevada.
I am glad to see that americans are finally getting passionately involved in politics! People are actually getting off their asses and doing real research, maybe there is hope yet! There is even the chance some may stumble into discovering what the Federal Reserve Bank really is. Every election, in my lifetime, people complain about having to vote for the lesser of two evils. (In either case you still get ‘evil’). Then spend the next four years complaining about getting burnt again, it was obvious from the outset. Maybe in the next election the people will grow enough balls to tell the parties to go find someone worth voting for or we are not going to vote! Possibly even step out of the two party mindset and find a plausible candidate for a third party. Lets hope that this doesn’t stop here and everyone go back to turning the government over to the politicians after the election with no scrutiny.
Austyn Crites was a Registered Republican since 2011, his birthdate is 1983. In 2001, he was 18 and eligible to vote. for the next 10 years, there is no record of him registering as Republican during that time, Suspiciously his voter registration is posted publicly online, but no one I know is on this database. http://voters.findthedata.com/d/b/Austyn-Crites
austyn crites in wikileaks podesta emails:
he is a paid dnc agitator and mentioned in wikileaks.
Other websites were reporting that his name turns up 7 different times in the wikileaks emails before the Trump rally. If that’s true, it’s hard to believe that he just bought a book. Doesn’t matter if he registered as a Republican if he did it just to work an angle, to make himself look like a conservative bailing ship. 7 times in wikileaks is suspect.
