A Black Lives Matter protester who disrupted a Donald Trump stump speech Saturday was beaten and kicked by Trump supporters in the crowd.
Trump did nothing.
The lone activist was shoved to the ground after he began chanting during a trump campaign stop in Birmingham, Ala.
In a video of the incident, several people can be seen tackling the man and at least one man punches him and a woman kicks him while he is on the ground, CNN reported.
Trump, without stopping his speech, dismissed the disruption.
“Get him the hell out of here!” the GOP presidential candidate said to cheers. “Throw him out.”
No arrests were made, according to Birmingham police.
A member of the Trump’s staff who declined to be named told the Montgomery Advertiser that the protester was taunting Trump as the crowd around him became aggressive.
“The guy was being disruptive,” the staffer told the Advertiser. “He was doing the Black Lives Matter thing and saying other phrases that were really firing up the crowd around him. He was throwing his hands around almost punching.”
Almost punching? That doesn’t even sound like a real action. Watch the video below.
