‘Lock her up,’ gag media, rowdy Trump backers in Jerusalem cheer

The 20 people left at the Mike’s Place bar in Jerusalem, where Republicans in Israel is holding its election night event, are starting to get rowdy, clapping wildly and jumping for joy, as Trump solidifies his lead.

As CNN calls Florida for Trump, the bar erupts into chants of “Lock Her Up!” and an especially inebriated American starts yelling about shutting down the liberal media, specifically The Times of Israel.

The journalists and Trump supporters are at about a 1:1 ratio.

While the rest of the bar jostles to get photographed, a lone Clinton supporter sits in silence with her head in her hands in the corner.
