The individual said that he was "too young" when the Jonestown Massacre happened and is making up for it by attending the rally.The Jonestown Massacre refers to the death of 918 members of the Peoples Temple, Jim Jones' cult, in a coordinated mass suicide in Guyana on November 18, 1978.The individual was asked by the Fox News reporter: "Why are you here this morning?"The individual said: "Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here.
There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front."The reporter then says, "Alright, may be he's not a Trump supporter", and the broadcast the cuts away from him.Here's the video:Trump will be rallying in South Carolina in support of Senator Darline Graham, as polls show that she is locked in a tight contest with her Democrat rival for the Senate seat, Annie Andrews.
