Things turned nasty at Donald Trump’s Friday rally in St. Louis.
Multiple protesters, some with the Black Lives Matter group, were arrested or escorted from the rally, and video shows one protester with a bloody nose and blood on his clothes.
Attendees and protesters began lining up hours prior to Trump’s speech. Trump’s speech was interrupted multiple times by protesters who made it into the event.
