Donald Trump brought two men on stage who “took action” against an unruly protester and let them speak to his boisterous crowd.
During Trump’s campaign rally Tuesday night in North Augusta, South Carolina, a protester flipped off the crowd and shouted profanities, but was accompanied out by Trump supporters. Trump said the protester’s actions were “disgraceful” after inviting the two supporters on stage.
When the first supporter got up to the podium to speak, he told the crowd, “Do not let them intimidate you. You back this man right here to the hilt. They will say anything, they will do anything to keep in power. We don’t need who we’ve got in their now. I’m talking Republicans and Democrats.”
Trump’s “right, we need to get some fresh bunch up there. Some fresh blood. Some fresh thinking okay. And my man Donald Trump, I’ll tell you what, I ain’t going to lie to you Donald, when you first got into this, I kind of was a little iffy, I ain’t going to lie. I said, ‘I don’t know’ — Donald Trump, you’re the best we got by far,” the first supporter said.
Trump then brought up a man who said he was an Iraq veteran of two tours and a Richmond County deputy, eliciting wild chants of “USA” from the crowd.
One supporter then said, “If it wasn’t for Mr. Trump right here, I don’t think any of us would have the voice that we have. This is the only man that’s really going to bring America back. He understands what it means for me and my people out here, who have been to war. Please, everything you talk about Mr. Trump, I can promise you right now, my department and the departments around me, we need you.”
After the two men finished their speeches, Trump applauded them off the stage saying, “You know, when you think of it, we’re all after the same thing, whether you’re Democrat, whether you’re liberal, Republican, conservative, whatever you are, we want safety, we want a good military, we want our vets taken care of, we want borders, we want education, we want homes, we want to be able to eat and live and have a nice life.”
Later Trump said, “I love it, I love people with courage, I mean courage. Sometimes you’ll go, and we’ll go and stuff like that will go on for a whole entire time, but I just respect those two guys a lot so I want to thank you fellows. Amazing, really amazing.”
