58. The Taunts As She Was Being Escorted Out Were Ugly
Sat Jan 9, 2016, 01:58 PM
Jan 2016

Yet, this could raise Trump in the polls...

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/08/politics/donald-trump-muslim-woman-protesting-ejected/

Despite her silence, Trump supporters around her began chanting Trump's name -- as instructed by Trump campaign staff before the event in case of protests -- and pointed at Hamid and Marty Rosenbluth, the man alongside her who stood up as well.

As they were escorted out, Trump supporters roared -- booing the pair and shouting at them to "get out." One person shouted, "You have a bomb, you have a bomb," according to Hamid.

"The ugliness really came out fast and that's really scary," Hamid told CNN in a phone interview after she was ejected.

Major Steven Thompson of the Rock Hill Police Department told CNN Hamid was kicked out of the event because the campaign told him beforehand that "anybody who made any kind of disturbance" should be escorted out.
