Donald Trump was rushed off the stage when some sort of disturbance occurred in the crowd.
A scared Donald Trump hurried off the stage
The secret service ran onto the stage where Trump was giving one of his speeches at a rally in Reno, Nevada. Trump displayed fear as they drug him off.
According to CNN,
A Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement there was a commotion in the crowd and an “unidentified individual” shouted “gun,” though no weapon was found after a “thorough search.” A man, who later identified himself to reporters as Austyn Crites, was then immediately detained and led out by a throng of police officers, Secret Service agents and SWAT officers armed with assault rifles to a side room. A law enforcement official later told CNN no charges were filed against Crites.
After he was released from custody, Crites told reporters the incident started off when he raised a “Republicans Against Trump” sign.Crites said he was then assaulted by a group of people around him before anyone shouted anything about a gun.
“All of a sudden, because they couldn’t grab the sign, or whatever happened, bam, I get tackled by all these people who were just, like, kicking me and grabbing me in the crotch and just, just beating the crap out of me,” Crites said, according to KTNV. “And somebody yells something about a gun, and so that’s when things really got out of hand.”
The alleged assault against Crites is just the latest such incident to occur at a Trump rally, where other protesters have previously been roughed up.
Donald Trump returned to his speech with much braggadocio
Trump came back to the stage soon after. He thanked the Service Service saying that they do not get the credit they deserve.
“Nobody said it was going to be easy for us, but we will never be stopped,” Trump said. “We will never be stopped.”
But no one at that rally was trying to stop Trump. The incident occurred because over time Trump taught his followers that thuggery was acceptable.
