Think progress reports: Video captured by a local TV reporter in Miami shows a man who disagrees with GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s immigration policies being violently ejected from a Trump campaign event. In the video, an unidentified white man wearing a red polo shirt is seen pulling another man identified as a protester by the back of his shirt. When the protester falls to the ground, the man in the polo shirt then drags him along the floor towards the room’s exit. Towards the end of the video, the polo-shirted man appears to kick the protester while the protester is still lying on the ground. As this protester is being dragged out of the room, the crowd around him loudly chants “U-S-A! U-S-A!”
Miami TV station NBC6 says the eight demonstrators were Latino students from Florida International University. They were each holding a letter, spelling out the word, “E-Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y,” at the Trump event Friday night.
Pro-immigration demonstrators stopped Trump three times
A series of protests interrupted Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s Miami campaign speech Friday night.
The pro-immigration demonstrators stopped Trump three times, before being shouted down by Trump supporters and removed from the facility.
“You can get them out, just don’t hurt them,” Trump advised to building security at Trump National Doral Miami, a resort the candidate owns.
He insisted the interruptions didn’t bother him, saying that “that’s what freedom of speech is about.”
“Isn’t this more fun than having like a normal deal?” the billionaire told his supporters. “This is more fun, right?”
But after several interruptions, he became peeved, noting that he had been polite to the first two disruptors.
“The third group, I’ll be a little more violent, and the fourth group, I’ll say, ‘Get the hell out of here!’”
