Republican nominee Donald Trump used his campaign rally in Miami to call out a journalist for her reporting.
From the podium, Trump criticized Katy Tur, an NBC News correspondent, for ignoring what he said was a valid story about his crowd sizes and instead focusing on negative news.

Journalists quickly reacted on Twitter, arguing that Trump calling her out by name could place Tur in danger.
He did it once before — in August, Tur needed Secret Service protection to leave a Trump event after he called her a third-rate reporter who had been dishonest about the nature of protests of his rallies.
Trump just called out @KatyTurNBC by name at his Miami rally. "There's something happening...Katy you're not reporting it."

Trump calls out @KatyTurNBC from the stage in the middle of a riff bashing media and now this guy behind me is just endlessly taunting her

This is dangerous - calling out an individual reporter. Katy Tur once needed Secret Service protection to leave a rally after he did this.
