Once again, a number of disruptors are taken away from Donald Trump’s speech. But this time there are also attacks. The president asks appreciatively, “Who’s the guy who landed that punch?”

At a campaign appearance by the US President Donald Trump In the state of South Carolina there were violent attacks on disruptors in the audience. “He really got hit,” Trump said after one of the troublemakers fell to the ground in the crowd. Another viewer could be seen above him in footage from Fox News, who struck several times. “That was great,” Trump cheered. He then asked appreciatively, “Who’s the guy who landed that punch?”

Already in the first few minutes, a number of people disrupted the event with heckling – similar to a performance the day before in North Carolina. As a rule, they were taken away by officers within seconds. Television footage also showed a second case in which a bystander physically attacked a young man who was already being taken away by security forces.

Trump campaigned in South Carolina for candidate Darline Graham, who is set to enter the Senate for the Republicans. In just under two weeks will take place in the USA The midterm elections are taking place in which the Republicans want to defend their thin majority in Congress.
