Trump rally in Texas interrupted by protesters
US President Donald Trump was repeatedly interrupted by protesters Wednesday during a rally in Texas, where he is campaigning ahead of November's midterm elections.
Trump called the interlopers “paid protesters” as the crowd booed and chanted “U-S-A!”. One person who disrupted the roughly two-hour speech appeared to be filming himself, while another appeared to wear a shirt reading “SOS Cuba”.
Trump has held campaign-style rallies across the country in recent weeks to support Republican candidates before the midterms. His party faces the possibility of losing control of both houses of Congress.
Uncertainty notes
The exact number of people escorted from the rally is not stated by a named authority in the supplied material.
The supplied material does not identify the protesters or confirm whether they were affiliated with any group.
