Secret Service agents rushed Donald Trump offstage on Saturday evening during a rally in Reno, Nevada, believing a protester in the audience posed a threat to the Republican presidential candidate. 'Go! Go!' agents shouted as they dragged him away while a combination of local police and private security wrestled a man at the front of the crowd to the ground.

A spectator is believed to have shouted 'gun' in the middle of The Donald's speech, causing a panic near the stage. A sea of bodies scattered, screams rang out and authorities dragged the man away as he kicked and restrained. After the confusion the man, who has been identified as Austyn Crites, was questioned and released, after agents found he wasn't carrying a gun.

His social media accounts suggested he was part of a group called 'Nevada Republicans Proudly Voting for Secretary Clinton'.

Trump was back on stage finishing his speech just minutes after he was whisked away. He then thanked the Secret Service in a statement as he headed to the next campaign stop in Denver, Colorado.

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.”

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.

2. Crites Has Been a Registered Republican Since 2011

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.

Some in the media blamed Trump for the climate at his 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.

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.” Them, he said, somebody yelled about a gun and “things really got out of hand.”

Crites also gave an interview to the BBC.
