A VIDEO showing a Donald Trump supporter chanting 'Jew-S-A!' at reporters during a rally has been blasted by the presidential candidate's campaign manager.

Kellyanne Conway says she would have had the man - who shouted the slur at media covering the event in Phoenix, Arizona, on Saturday - removed by security if she had seen his vile tirade.

"His conduct is completely unacceptable and does not reflect our campaign or our candidate," Conway told CNN’s Jake Tapper.

She admitted the man's behaviour was "deplorable" - a phrase Hillary Clinton uses to describe the far-right supporters of Trump's campaign.

"Had I been there, I would have asked security to remove him immediately," she added.

"Clearly, he doesn’t speak for the campaign or the candidate, and what he had to say was disgusting.”

The man who was wearing a 'Hillary for Prison” T-shirt' also shouted: "You’re going down! You’re the enemy!" at the press.

Trump claims there is a sinister media campaign against him and has called reporters who publish negative stories about him "thieves and crooks".

He says there are shadowy powers who "rig the media" and in the past has said: "They can wield absolute power over your life, your economy, and your country."

Conway was asked why Trump has not disavowed the support of far-right, such as the chair of the American Nazi Party, neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer, former Ku Klux Klan members and white nationalists.

"Yes, he has," Conway replied. "And let me just repeat on his behalf that that’s the way his campaign feels."
