After a violent outburst against a member of the press during President Trump's El Paso rally on Monday night, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) denounced the violence and urged the president to do the same, reports The Hill.

At the rally, a Trump supporter shoved BBC cameraman Ron Skeans (Skeans' camera captured the footage). Skeans' colleague and BBC's Washington correspondent, Gary O'Donoghue, described the shove as an "incredibly violent attack."
