Protesters forcibly booted from Trump rally – MAGA faithful unmask antagonists on way out

January 28, 2024 | | Print Article

A futile attempt to protest the former president quickly set a crowd against masked figures mocked as “enthusiastic friends.”

As routinely as former President Donald Trump’s campaign is holding rallies, irate opposition has shown up to confront the GOP figure. This included a Saturday stump in Las Vegas, Nevada where, for the third week in a row, agitators were shown the door to chants of “USA!”

The “Commit to Caucus” rally at the area’s Big League Dreams sports park was barely underway when multiple videographers captured two American flag-style bandana-clad protesters getting pushed toward the back of the venue while supportive attendees endeavored to “unmask” the offending parties.

“Trump has just taken the stage here in Las Vegas and boasted about his massive win in Iowa. He’s immediately interrupted by protesters, not an uncommon occurrence. They’re escorted out quickly,” New York Times reporter Kellen Browning captioned a video shared on X.

“Protesters are shoved out of Donald Trump’s Las Vegas rally by supporters,” said the Daily Mail’s Katelyn Caralle of a different clip.

While it was unclear what cause the protesters represented, outside of Trump Derangement Syndrome, or what they had been shouting before they were shown the door, the president could clearly be heard on stage dismissive of the activists as he said, “They’re actually friends. Enthusiastic friends.”

The Nevada disruption came only one week after Trump had gathered supporters at SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire where a man had allegedly rushed toward the stage shouting “This is 1930s Germany!” while someone else was seen dressed as a hooded member of the Ku Klux Klan alleging, “the Klan supports Trump.”

“Go ahead, you can throw him out,” the president said of the primary disruptor in yet another display of taming his reaction to outbursts, perhaps heeding the advice from former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany despite referring to her as a “RINO” for encouraging a “conciliatory tone” to attract broader voter support.

Nearly a week prior to that incident, climate zealots had interrupted an Iowa campaign event resulting in Trump telling them from the stage, “Go home to mommy, your mommy’s waiting. Go home to mommy.”

The masked individuals weren’t the only interruption Saturday as the Reno Gazette Journal detailed that someone suffering a medical emergency “took a while to get help in the tightly packed crowd on a green Astroturf field.”

Speaking from the stage, the president made sure that first responders were aware a supporter needed medical attention before he offered some off-the-cuff remarks during the pause in his speech.

“You know they’re waiting outside for 10 hours — 12 hours. I love you, darling,” Trump said, appearing to direct his favor toward the attendee receiving care. “We don’t want to see anybody — even the other side — we don’t want to see them hurt.”

Of the unidentified protesters, many on social media suspected their effort to conceal their faces singled them out as “Feds” trying to blend in before causing disruption.
