"We have massive crowds. There's something happening," Trump told the audience before continuing to chastise the reporter for not talking about the size of his crowds.

"They're not reporting it. Katy, you're not reporting it, Katy. But there's something happening, Katy. There's something happening, Katy," Trump said.

The crowd at the rally booed her as Trump called out the reporter, according to others on scene.

Trump has singled out Tur at previous campaign events.

During a rally in December, Trump pointed to Tur while calling her "little Katy" and a "third-rate reporter," accusing her of falsely reporting he had once left a rally early.

In July, Trump also told Tur to "be quiet" during a press conference when she repeatedly sought to ask the candidate a follow-up question.
