Protesters Ejected From Donald Trump Rally After Holding Up Pocket ConstitutionsThe GOP nominee responded by calling them rude.
Its sort of rude, when you think about it, he said. We want jobs, we want health care. Were looking for the same thing. You want to have a good life. You want safety. And then we have people interrupting constantly.
Several protesters were thrown out of a Donald Trump rally in Portland, Maine, on Thursday after they interrupted the GOP nominees stump speech by standing and holding up pocket-sized copies of the U.S. Constitution in the air.
Last week, Khizr Khan, the father of a slain American war hero who was Muslim, held up his own well-worn pocket Constitution on stage at the Democratic convention and lambasted Trump for his proposal to ban Muslims from the U.S. Let me ask you, have you even read the U.S. Constitution? he asked.
Sales of the constitution soared on Amazon.com after Khans blistering speech. A version of the founding document currently ranks fifth on the websites best-seller list.
