It was here that Donald Trump held a special rally on Saturday. Unexpectedly, the 77-year-old faced a substantial number of opponents at the gathering. Loud booing ensued after Trump made a comment that was not well-received.
Trump even instructed for a man to be expelled from the rally, which was taking place in New Hampshire as previously mentioned.
"You can throw him out of here. Get out of here. Go ahead," said the former president, addressing the protester.
The man was subsequently led out of the building by four guards, a few moments after he was tackled by other rally-goers.
"This is just an unbalanced individual," Trump continued from the stage. "- Now we know that politics is getting serious. Now we know that we are tackling the issues earnestly," he added.
Trump echoes his 2016 tactics
This isn't the first instance of Donald Trump ejecting attendees from his rallies. Back in the 2016 presidential campaign, he expressed a desire to "punch" a protester in the face at a Las Vegas gathering.
As quoted from the former president, the ejected man was reportedly smiling as he was forced out. Trump continued his speech, describing the protester as being "as nasty as hell," and nostalgically noted that such individuals would have been carried out on a stretcher in the past. "We can no longer retreat," Trump declared.
Just as a reminder, the upcoming presidential election in the United States will be held on November 5, 2024. On this day, voters will directly select 538 members of the United States Electoral College. These selected members will then vote for the president and vice president in December 2024.
