A protester is not happy with Townhall’s Julio Rosas and is accusing him of going “undercover” at the recent protests:

Yes, because all the best “undercover” reporters wear vests emblazoned with “PRESS” on the front? Here’s Julio’s response:
That one protester I filmed that got upset at me has now warned others.
1. I don't work for Fox News. 2. Interesting how she says I go "undercover" when I'm wearing a vest marked press. 3. She said she's NOT in danger after telling me I was putting her in danger, so which is it? https://t.co/X3RPOeT06H

Like a ninja, TBH:
Pretty sneaky, skulking around with “PRESS” in giant letters ?

Apparently, this woman and her friends were angry after Julio filmed her without a mask at a previous protest:

This activist later clarified that she’s not the woman in the video and Julio isn’t “undercover” in Webster’s Dictionary sense of the word, but because he’s “manipulating his identity as a friendly member of the press on the side of the protestors”:
To the Trump bots in my mentions please don’t be this dense although I understand that may be incredibly difficult for y’all to do. The woman who sent me this obviously meant undercover in the sense of manipulating his identity as a friendly member of the press on the side of —

the protestors. Her being in danger at that moment and right now have nothing to do with what she said at all about danger. Finally, she’s not a journalist, if the common person makes an assumption that they get filmed by a journalist and end up on Fox News how is that —-

So, exactly how is he pretending to be on their side?
How exactly did he pretend to be on your side? I think the vest tends to give away what he’s doing there …

We eagerly await an answer to that question.
