Trump’s Ohio Rally Protester Pummeled by Audience Members, on Video
Published
A Trump protester took a beating at the hands of some of his apparent supporters … all while the president sat back and fat-shamed the protester.
The shocking scene played out in Youngstown, Ohio, Monday night … right in front of our TMZ DC team, Jacob and Charlie — who caught the moment on video.
Check it out … the protester — wearing a shirt that reads “Release the Epstein Files” — stands and heckles the president when several other audience members get physical with them.
Pushing and shoving ensues … and a man grabs the protester by the hair while others — including a man wearing a sweatshirt that reads “God’s Got My Back” — help hold the protester down.
Eventually, law enforcement authorities rush in and drag the protester out … while President Donald Trump said the protester was a paid plant by the left.
He then said, “Look at him. Look at him. Terrible. Don’t we love law enforcement? Oh, he’s gotta go on a diet! He’s a fat guy. Wow. Wow. Gotta go on a diet fast. We all do.”
Charlie rushed from the rally floor to the lobby to ask the protester why they decided to come out to the rally … and the protester responded simply, “F*** Donald Trump.”
Trump is in Ohio campaigning on behalf of Republican Senator Jon Husted … who is in a tight race with former Senator Sherrod Brown.
