The Minnesota Star-Tribune reported:
Donald Trump roiled Minnesota politics for a few hours Friday night without ever showing his face in public.
The New York businessman made his first visit to the state as the Republican presidential candidate for a private nighttime fundraiser at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Dozens of protesters gathered out front ahead of the event and marched around the large building. Later in the evening, a smaller contingent grew unruly. Some fundraiser attendees were pushed and jostled, spit on and verbally harassed as they left the convention center.
Tweets showed the protests and conflicts with Trump supporters:
