‘Scary, Tense, New Level of Menace”: PROTESTERS GET PHYSICAL, INTERRUPT, SCREAM PROFANITIES at Massive Trump Rally in New Orleans
“Bad vibes.” “Scary.” “Tense.” “Physical.” “New level of menace.” “Vicious.”
Those are the words used by reporters who covered the New Orleans campaign rally by leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Friday evening to describe the leftist anti-Trump protesters who disrupted the rally and the reactions of fed-up Trump supporters.
There was even a report that Trump’s campaign manger was personally escorting protesters out of the rally.
