President Trump's rally Thursday night in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., was interrupted by a protester who was escorted out of the arena after causing a disturbance.
Trump was speaking about his popularity and election day victory in Texas when he was distracted by a loud chorus of boos coming from the right side of the arena.
Cameras showed a woman wearing yellow being escorted out by security personnel.
"All right. Get em out. Get em out," Trump said as the demonstrator was removed. "Get 'em outta here."
As the woman was leaving, media cameras caught her making obscene gestures toward the crowd and the stage, which was met with responses of "USA! USA!" from the crowd moments later.
Trump then resumed his speech, remarking about pundits' predictions that Texas would be a possible pickup for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.
The president's rallies are a frequent target for protesters, and administration officials have been subject to more demonstrations in recent weeks over the Trump administration's zero tolerance immigration policy.
During the 2016 campaign, the president faced criticism for his rhetoric aimed at protesters who interrupted his rallies, after he seemed to encourage his supporters to "knock the crap" out of a protester.
Trump was in Pennsylvania on Wednesday speaking on behalf of Republican Senate hopeful Lou Barletta who is running against incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D).
The president has been an active campaigner on behalf of Republicans he sees as loyal to his agenda ahead of the November midterms, which are less than 100 days away.
Republicans are hoping to maintain control of the Senate, where they have a two-seat majority. Casey is seen as a vulnerable Democrat and a prime target for Republicans.
Trump won the state in 2016 by less than a point over Clinton.
not worthy of attention
today’s Democrats = no class
“Resisters” are NOT “protesters”. They are a bunch of butt hurt, little crybabies who are sad because their side lost in 2016 and they didn’t get a participation trophy for their efforts. All they got was a goofy, pink P-hat.
One lousy, stupid little loudmouthed lefty shrew and supposedly that’s a “BIG DEAL”, in a sea of many thousands of cheering, happy, pro-Trump people? It is to laugh!
This isn’t news.
Has happened at every Trump rally since he started running.
I’ve seen it live in 2016, and I saw what happened tonight.
mild
There was no don’t hurt him
There was no go home to mamma
This is a little trash tabloid for The Hill
Those weren’t boo’s. They were saying Lou, as in Lou Barletta
WOW so one dumb ass Commie lib gets kicked out of a rally of what, 30,000 people and the one moron is what the commie media covers
when the President began listing improvement in unemployment rates, etc., someone messaged on the RSBN video chat section that CNN has gone down again, or words to that effect. not sure what to make of that.
"SEEMED TO ..." And did that happen? Uh ... ummmmmm ... I don't ... Look! Russians!
Liberal scum never change.
Because the Commie News Media doesn’t want anyone to know about President Trump’s accomplishments..they can’t bash him for things he does right so instead they trash him for “Attacking” the commie press
Yeah, I watched part of a video of the President meeting with urban pastors yesterday. I told my wife if the news showed anything this President has done that was good he would get nearly every vote.
but CNN gets upset when they are called fake news, and yet they will not tell the truth. So they get Dems to do a bill.
I mean you cant even make up how stupid these people are.
So that sums up the rally, eh?
Jim Acosta’s girlfriend?
I eagerly await a weeping Jim Acosta describing how Trump supporters were treated with crudeness and disrespect!
Those who are to ignorant to debate retreat to disruption and violence.
Can you imagine what would have happened to a Deplorable doing the same thing at an Obama rally?
