Trump Invites Supporters on Stage for Handling Protester — See What Happens When One of Them Says He's a Veteran

By Tré Goins-Phillips. Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is known for his raucous rallies, and one he held Tuesday night in Augusta, South Carolina, was no exception.

During his speech Tuesday night, Trump, who is leading in South Carolina with 38 percent of the vote, was interrupted by a protester who was allegedly yelling profanities and raising his middle finger to the large crowd.

“They should be ashamed of themselves. It’s disgraceful,” Trump said of the protester, who he described as a “rough cookie,” before inviting the two men who “took action” against the demonstrator onto the stage.

“Do not let them intimidate you,” the older of the two men said when he took the stage. “You back this man right here to the hilt. They will say anything, they will do anything to keep in power.”

He went on to say he’s supporting “my man Donald Trump” because the U.S. needs “some new thinking” and “some fresh blood” in the White House. (Read more from “Trump Invites Supporters on Stage for Handling Protester — See What Happens When One of Them Says He’s a Veteran” HERE)
