President Donald Trump has been interrupted multiple times by protesters during his Indiana rally on his final midterm sprint.
On three occasions Monday, demonstrators began to chant against Trump, only to be drowned out by a crowd of Trump supporters in a downtown Fort Wayne coliseum.
The protesters were escorted out. Trump told one demonstrator to “go home to mommy.”
Protesters were a common sight at Trump’s 2016 campaign rallies, with the occasional brief bouts of violence between the demonstrators and Trump supporters.
They have become a far rarer sight since Trump took office, which the president noted Monday.
He wryly mused that he was “not surprised” they would be a factor in Indiana, but it wasn’t clear what he meant.
