PENDLETON, S.C. (FOX Carolina) – Multiple people were escorted out of Clemson’s T. Ed Garrison Arena during Pres. Trump’s rally Wednesday, including one incident where punches were thrown.
Pres. Trump took the stage around 7:08 p.m. Within 10 minutes, he was interrupted by hecklers six times, according to the White House pool.
About 20 minutes into his speech, officers removed three more hecklers. One yelled “traitor” and another yelled “release the Epstein files” while being led out.
“These people are crazy,” the president said at one point.
Minutes later, another heckler caused a disturbance and punches were thrown.
“That was incredible… Who was the guy who threw that punch,” Pres. Trump said. “The guy stood up and he got whacked, man.”
After each removal, the crowd erupted in “USA! USA! USA!” chants.
