Protesters Disrupt Obama at Pro-Clinton Rally
Hecklers temporarily halted President Barack Obama's rally in support of Hillary Clinton on Tuesday in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Two protesters wearing hand-drawn T-shirts declaring "Bill Clinton is a rapist" broke through barriers, chanting and shouting before they were escorted out of the amphitheater. Obama paused for a couple of minutes while the crowd chanted "Hillary" to drown out the demonstrators.
"Those folks are auditioning for a reality show," Obama said.
Conservative pundit Alex Jones has offered $5,000 to anyone who gets on television wearing a “Bill Clinton rape" shirt or who is heard accusing the former president of sexual assault. (Bill Clinton has never faced criminal charges in relation to rape allegations.)
A few minutes later, Obama briefly paused again when crowds began booing another protester.
"Is somebody hollering again? You know what, here’s the deal — try to get your own rally!" the president quipped to cheers. "See, if you can’t get your own rally, don’t come mess up somebody else’s, right? We got work to do here!"
