According to Wikipedia, "The Raw Story (also stylized as RawStory) is an American online news organization founded in 2004 by John Byrne. It covers current national and international political and economic news and publishes its own editorials and investigative pieces. The Raw Story describes itself as progressive, bringing attention to stories that it sees as downplayed or ignored by other media outlets. It is owned by Washington, D.C.-based Raw Story Media, Inc."
What they report might well be accurate, just as sometimes, you'll find a gem of truth in Newsmax. However, because they do self describe themselves as "progressive," it might be a wise idea to look for additional reports on this event, from other sources.
Also, the mainstream media has been beating up Trump since he won the election. Most reports on him and his activities, are negative. You would think an event where this occurred, would be "raw meat" for both the print, and electronic media, and would lead the national news shows. And yet, it has gone relatively uncovered by the MSM.
I won't come out and say the story is not true, but I will say it should be regarded with a healthy dose of skepticism. I'd look for coverage in the local papers. From what I hear, the Phoenix paper leans to the right, while the Tucson paper is left leaning. I think the Phoenix paper if "The Arizona Republic," while Tucson's paper is "The Daily Star." I could be wrong.
But regardless if the story is fake or real, anti-semitism should be roundly condemned, and I personally believe that Trump would distance himself from such a demonstration, and, more than that, denounce it.
