Donald Trump Jr. and other members of the GOP are outraged as the media remains 'totally silent' over the death of a Republican teenager who was ran over by a 'liberal extremist.'
Cayler Ellingson, 18, was mowed down by Shannon Brandt, 41, in North Carolina after attending a street dance party on Sunday. Brandt previously told State Radio that he got into an altercation with the teenager about politics and believed Ellingson was part of a 'Republican extremist group.'
