The man, calling himself an "American patriot," waving his finger at media "traitors." Screenshot/Noah Gray on Twitter A Florida man calling himself an "American patriot" unleashed a verbal assault on the assembled press following Republican nominee Donald Trump's rally in Kissimmee, Florida, on Thursday night.

"Up yours!" he exclaimed, waving his raised middle finger at the press pen at the back of the venue before shouting "traitor!" at an unspecified member of the press.

As he was approached by CNN's Noah Gray, the man turned toward the reporter, shouting, "I am a patriot and you are a traitor!"

Another reporter asked for his name, to which he replied, "Patriot. American patriot."

"Your name is traitor!" he continued.
