Donald Trump's campaign speech in Waterloo, Iowa, was briefly interrupted Wednesday afternoon by a handful of hecklers that appeared to be climate change activists.
Trump was mid-speech at a local ballroom discussing the thousands of Syrians fleeing tumult in the country when several audience members holding up large red signs started to yell, "Mobilize now."
Some of Trump's supporters did not take to the hecklers kindly, and at least one of them appeared to grab a sign away from the protesters.
The Republican presidential front-runner urged the crowd to remain calm, saying, "We want to be nonviolent towards those people." After the protesters were escorted out by police, Trump thanked the audience for not hurting them.
Trump's visit to Iowa comes as he continues to lead the Republican field in the state. He stands at 24% and is followed by retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 19%; former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina at 8%; and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 7%, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Remember the “Trump is the next Hitler” phase a couple of weeks back?
LOL.
This sure puts holes in that.
The only thing some people understand is pain.
Good play, Donald.
He’s right. They want the crowd to react. Don’t give them the satisfaction. Donald’s men or police will deal with them
Noting that Trump was evidently not sure that protestors were climate change activists, consider the following climate change thread.

NICE! Well played Mr Trump!
These progressive turds have all of the major media platforms and outlets to speak for them, plus most of the dirty money & corrupt cowards in DC, but still they have to try to crowd out any alternative points of view by shouting down rallies?
Personally, it would take a maximum demonstration of restraint to avoid clocking one of these protestors.
That’s the main reason these people go to republican rallies, best case scenario for them is somebody beats them up, giving their supporters in the MSM all the ammunition they need to attempt to destroy the candidate, they would be relentless.
There used to be a bridge over the Mississippi River near me that was metal grate surface. If you rode a motorcycle over it and looked down the surface was invisible. It was like flying. Great fun!
Obviously wrong thread. New phone. Oops.
>> “We want to be nonviolent towards those people.”
Actually, we WANT to rip their silly heads off and poop down their windpipes... but as Mr. Trump points out it is *wise* to be nonviolent towards them. At least for now.
Cool post, though! :)
To where did the bridge move?
I think what he meant by “we should be nonviolent towards them” he means drag them away then punch them in their pathetic faces.
“best case scenario for them is somebody beats them up, giving their supporters in the MSM all the ammunition they need to attempt to destroy the candidate, they would be relentless.”
Disagree. If Germans had beat the hell out of the Nazi street thugs in 1932, Hitler would’ve never rose to power. Showing weakness to leftists is an invitation for them to stomp all over you.
“To where did the bridge move?”
No one knows. It was a tole bridge and rumor has it that it was embezzling and was tipped off that the authorities were on to it. It simply dissapeared one night.
