AN ENRAGED Donald Trump fan hijacked a press conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on Wednesday claiming that Joe Biden was "stealing" the election.
Election officials were updating reporters on the latest vote count when a man wearing a 'BBQ, beer, freedom' tank-top interrupted them to rant about Joe Biden.
"The Biden crime family is stealing the election," he screeched.
"The media is covering it up!
"We won our freedom for the world. Give us our freedom Joe Biden! Joe Biden is covering up this election! He's stealing it!"
After he's through shouting, the man simply turns and walks away, before the press conference continues.
"Where were we?" One reporters asks.

Controversy has been the theme of the election count, with supporters all over the country crying conspiracy on both sides.
Trump supporters last night congregated outside an election centre in Arizona to demand that every vote be counted, while some in Michigan have gathered to demand that counting be stopped in a supposed bid to prevent voter fraud.
Biden is edging closer to victory as counting carries over into its third day, but enough states remain in the balance that assuming a definitive winner is too difficult.
Nevada, traditionally a Democratic stronghold, is one of those states in the balance.

After Democratic victories in both Michigan and Wisconsin last night, Trump desperately needs a win in a contested state like Nevada to stand any chance of re-election.
He fell just shy of winning the state and its six electoral college votes in 2016, and this year he campaigned hard in the state hoping for better luck.
