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
Most outlets converge on the rally being disrupted by protesters or hecklers while Trump was stumping for Ken Paxton in Texas. CBS News, NBC News, CNN and The Guardian US foreground the interruptions themselves, with NBC alone highlighting one protester being grabbed by an audience member, while The Hill and Fox News emphasize Trump’s response and his claim that the hecklers were paid. The New York Times and Washington Post frame the stop more through the Texas race and Republican worries, and The Atlantic is the outlier, using a more reflective piece that only loosely matches the event.
