Controversial alt-right provocateur Mike Cernovich appears to have been punched in the face at an anti-Trump rally in Austin, TX on Saturday after repeatedly yelling "Bill Clinton is a rapist" at the crowd.
The right-wing vlogger livestreamed his protest of the rally calling for President Trump to release his tax returns, and the footage appears to show rally goers shouting obscenities, pushing and shoving protest signs in front of Cernovich's face.
The livestream on Periscope then abruptly ends when Cernovich's phone falls after seemingly taking a hit.

(875 posts)Second, I was there. He got up on the stage and grabbed the mic and yelled "Bill Clinton is a rapist" before he was immediately cut off and shuffled off the stage. Protesters did walk up to surround him with signs while the crowd booed him. Texas State Troopers on the scene escorted him away from the stage area.
There was no fight, no faces punched, no arrests. Some folks may have used obscenities, but so what? He might have dropped his phone or otherwise panicked.
Mike Cernovich is full of shit, full stop.
