During a campaign rally for Republican presidential contender Donald Trump in Birmingham, Alabama, on Saturday, a fight broke out between a Black Lives Matter protester and other event attendees.

One video from the event, shot by a CNN reporter, shows several Trump supporters shoving and kicking a black protester on the ground. CNN reports that the man appeared to have been shouting "black lives matter," a slogan that was also printed on his shirt. The network reported that at least six attendees pushed and tackled the man when he refused to leave the event.

One rally attendee can be heard on camera chanting "all lives matter" as the protester was later escorted out by police officers.

The scuffle drew enough attention that Trump interrupted his speech at the rally to address the fight.

"Yeah, you can get him out," Trump said on stage, referring to a protester. "Yeah, get him out. Get him the hell out of here."

Trigger Warning: They just escorted him to his Safe Place. No worries

This is why Trump is going to win. He represents what is left of America...and it isn't much.

But Americans are unified behind Trump because they know that only he knows what is happening...and only he is willing to take on the enemy.

Go Trump, Go.

while he was down.

If you come to an event with the intention of inciting a response, who is the idiot?

Not if you want Trump elected. People can't take their personal frustration out on others at a Trump event, makes us all look bad.

That is so lame....and so GOPe of you.

Betcha that reporter will be a hero at CNN.

[Kenny]

What? To think our guys shouldn't kick a protestor on the ground? Are you kidding me?

[tillacum]

That may have been a set up. The protester and those kicking him may have been planned so the reporters would be able to show Trump followers as hoodlums.

He will get it again someday too, I am sure.

So members of Black lives matter so much they get to interrupt rallies and meetings? Better luck at Bernie and Hellary rallies.

Its properly pronounced ‘Black Lies Movement’.

The ‘v’ is silent.
