(Video-Compilation of protesters removed from Trump's rally)
A number of protestors were forcefully removed from the New Holland Arena in the Farm Show & Expo Center while President Donald Trump spoke Saturday night.
Pennsylvania State Troopers and the Capitol Police had a busy night as they were forced to secure and remove a number of protestors from inside the rally. No information has been provided about any pending criminal charges for those that were removed.
The first person to be removed was screaming "Trump is a traitor!" The man, who has yet to be identified, began screaming and waving a Russian flag while on the floor of the arena.
Trump asked from the stage to have the man removed. When police arrived, the man was dragged to the ground and taken out of the arena. Supporters began chanting "U.S.A." as he was removed.
One of the rowdiest incidents occurred when a number of men wearing "Bikers for Trump" shirts surrounded Neil Makhija and woman inside the rally. Law enforcement was busy handling another protestor and did not get to Makhija or the woman, who has not yet been identified, for more than two minutes.
The bikers blocked the Makhija's and woman's movement until police arrived. The Trump supporters blocked the pair's faces with "Promises Made, Promises Kept" signs and shielded from journalists' cameras.
At first, just Makhija was being removed, but the woman put her hands on a Secret Security agent and she was then removed. Makhija was let back into the arena by police.
Makhija said he didn't know the woman that got removed. Makhija said he had no idea why Trump supporters were trying to remove him. He wasn't yelling, wasn't holding up an anti-Trump sign or causing trouble.
"It wasn't comfortable," Makhija said afterwards. "They went way beyond what people should do."
Makhija said he attended the speech to hear the president speak about the opioid crisis in Pennsylvania. Trump did not speak about the opioid crisis, to which Makhija said he was disappointed.
Another man was removed more than 20 minutes into Trump's speech. Police secured the man's hands and removed him from the floor.
Trump supporters yelled and cursed at him as he was escorted from the arena.
Trump's visit coincided with the president's 100th day in office -- which has long been a measurement of how well a new administration has gotten its footing.
Pennsylvania served as a very important state for Trump during the 2016 election. He held more campaign stops in Pennsylvania than in any other state.
So hard to get good writers, these days.

I worked in printing and publishing for 50 years, and the deterioration in the quality of writing and journalism today is both amusing and appalling to me.
The best one was:
Trump tells security to take protesters’ coats: ‘Throw them out into the cold’
Free job. Need too or three good luking girlz who can right.

LOL! Not really much of an exaggeration.
Punch back twice as hard.

Or Maybe a Russian who only knows a few words :)
JUST AWFUL
Likely a paid instigator by the left to create the disruption to make conservatives look bad if beat up OR joined. Liberals used that tactic even during the campaign, per leaked Podesta emails.
