Protesters removed after disrupting Trump rally in Texas – video
Donald Trump’s latest campaign rally in San Antonio, Texas, was rocked by repeated protests as the US president urged Texas voters to back the embattled Senate candidate Ken Paxton. At least half a dozen demonstrators interrupted the US president during his speech, with some led away by police.
What the coverage shows
The Guardian US, CBS News and Fox News all focus on repeated disruptions at Trump’s Texas rally, with protesters or hecklers being removed or interrupting multiple times. The Guardian says at least half a dozen demonstrators interrupted the speech and were led away by police, while CBS says several hecklers were removed and the crowd jeered. Fox is the only outlet to foreground Trump’s claim that the protesters were paid by enemies of the nation, and The Independent’s extract is a broader opinion piece that only mentions the rally in passing.
