Trump Cheers On Violent Attacks on Protesters at Chaotic Rally

Anna Moneymaker / Getty Images President Donald Trump cheered on what appeared to be a violent physical altercation during a chaotic rally in South Carolina on Wednesday that saw multiple protesters disrupt the MAGA event.

Trump, 80, appeared at the rally to support Republican candidate Darline Graham ahead of the midterm elections, where she is in a fierce battle against Democrat Annie Andrews.

The president backed Graham in the primary to replace her late brother, Lindsey.

However, it was a brutal fight in the audience at Clemson University that seized Trump’s attention, even causing him to pause his speech to comment on the brawl in graphic detail.

His rally speech had already been interrupted multiple times before the fight.

At least three people were removed from the arena within Trump’s first 20 minutes on stage.

The White House Press Pool reported that one yelled “traitor” and another “release the Epstein files” as she was led away by police.

The senior president repeated his regular claim that they were “paid protesters” earning $250 to disrupt his events, only to go home to be assaulted by their Trump-loving parents.

Then, talking about the “golden age of America” and discussing immigration and inflation, the president was distracted by what appeared to be a wild brawl on the auditorium floor.

While the start of the fight was not visible on cameras, conservative network Real America’s Voice aired a split-screen showing the aftermath, where security officers picked up a man in a blue T-shirt from the floor before escorting him out of the venue.

Trump’s MAGA supporters cheered on, shouting “U.S.A!” Footage captured by Fox News captured the scene in more detail, with punches appearing to be thrown.

The president seemed enthralled by the violent event, saying, “Wow, man, I loved that, I watched that.

Man.

You know, I watched that.
