This is the closest thing to the Jonestown Massacre”: A Trump rally attendee compared the event to a religious cult. Reporter: Tom, why are you here this morning? Tom: Well, in the late 1970s I was too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But it's the closest I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. Nothing compares to seeing the cult with your own eyes. Jonestown is a settlement in Guyana where the American preacher Jim Jones created a religious sect whose members lived under his absolute control. In November 1978, a mass suicide of 918 people took place there.
