Protesters Repeatedly Interrupt Trump's Clemson, South Carolina Rally for Sen. Darline Graham

President Donald Trump rallied in Clemson, South Carolina, on Wednesday night, 21 October, for Republican Sen. Darline Graham, and at least ten protesters tried to disrupt his speech. Several were removed from the T. Ed Garrison Livestock Arena at Clemson University. The White House press pool counted nine disruptions in the first twenty minutes, six in the first eight or so minutes. One rallygoer appeared to throw a punch at a protester, and one report said supporters allegedly attacked demonstrators at least twice. Trump called the protesters paid, saying they get $250. Graham leads Democrat Dr. Annie Andrews by 2.7 points in the RealClearPolling average, and GOP strategists said the visit aims to ease base disappointment over the candidate.
