Protesters repeatedly interrupt Trump at a San Antonio rally for Ken Paxton
Video shows scuffles as police escort demonstrators out of Freeman Coliseum while the president jokes and pivots to other themes.
Protesters disrupted President Donald Trump again and again as he rallied support for Senate nominee Ken Paxton in San Antonio.
Trump flew in to stump for Paxton, who is in a tight race with Democrat James Talarico. Video from Freeman Coliseum shows demonstrators shouting and clashing as officers escort people out. One protester was seen making an obscene gesture.
Trump's response
After one disruption, Trump briefly stepped back from the microphone and joked that the protester was going home to mom and that mom had voted for him.
During the same speech he announced plans to give former pitcher Roger Clemens the nation's top civilian honor. He repeated his call for executing drug dealers and tried to explain comments he had made recently about Iran and U.S. cities.
"We're not going to let that happen," Trump said. "We protect our cities. We protect our country."
