Donald Trump has praised one of his MAGA supporters for allegedly punching a protester at his latest rally and compared him to boxing legend Evander Holyfield, a guest speaker at Trump’s South Carolina stop. The president faced interruptions from hecklers at several points during his speech, but tensions peaked when his remarks turned to immigration.
“The hardest thing we have to do is nab these career criminals and get them the hell out of here…” Trump said, just as TV cameras swung toward the crowd. The broadcast showed an older man in a red cap raising his hands and stepping back after apparently throwing a haymaker at the protester as police rushed into his row.
