Bashed Trump Supporter Hoax
The presumptive nominee recently held an event in San Jose, California, where things took a nasty turn as protestors showed undeniable hostility to the rally attendees.
A pro-Trump Twitter account called Conservative Nation seems to have tried to capitalize off this, and they put out a picture of an alleged Trump-supporting woman who was beaten and bloodied by demonstrators.'Bloody Donald Trump supporter' exposed as actress, never attacked by liberals at rally.
Snopes:Claim: An image depicts a young female Donald Trump supporter covered in blood following an altercation at a California political rally
.
False

Re: Bashed Trump Supporter Hoax
A tweet purporting to show a woman savagely beaten at a Donald Trump rally has gone viral.
Just one problem: it's a hoax.
The woman pictured in the tweet is actually actress Samara Weaving, and the image is not from a Trump rally, but from the set of her television show Ash vs. Evil Dead.
The tweet was sent from "Conservative Nation" and has not been deleted as of this writing.
The tweet had been retweeted more than 400 times.
Sad and Desperate!

Sad and desperate, yes. But those Trump supporters will believe it.
Facts, they don't need no stinking facts. They believe anything that fits into their ideology. Just look at the Clinton Conspiracy believers.

Re: Bashed Trump Supporter Hoax
What the photo actually shows is Australian actress Samara Weaving, who played a character on the first season of the Starz series Ash vs Evil Dead. She’s covered in fake blood as part of her role on the show.She is VERY upset that they used her picture without her permission.

Re: Bashed Trump Supporter Hoax
The real Trump supporter who had eggs thrown at her is now admitting she may have brought it on herself.
Washington (CNN)A Donald Trump supporter says she may have been pelted with eggs by protestors because she was taunting them.Rachel Casey was asked by Inside Edition if she had been taunting the anti-Trump protesters in San Jose, California, last week.
"Yeah, maybe I egged them on, but I was just sticking up for myself," the 29-year-old bodybuilder said. "They started it with me. I stood up for myself like any other American would."
A video shows her making an obscene gesture to a protester.
She was then hit by an anti-Trump sign after walking into an angry crowd. Eggs and tomatoes were tossed at her.
As the old saying goes, "If you're not ready to play, don't come on to the playground".
