Trump Orders Removal Of Black Students From Rally
Donald Trump ordered Secret Service agents to remove a number of black students from his Georgia rally on Monday evening, thehill.com gathered.
Before
Trump spoke in Valdosta, Ga., about 30 black students who were quietly
standing on the top of the bleachers were told to leave the GOP
front-runner’s event.
Those
students complied and were escorted by the Secret Service outside, where
they were told they needed to vacate the area of the rally.
“We
didn’t plan to do anything,” said Tahjila Davis, a 19-year-old Valdosta
State University student who was removed. “They said, 'This is Trump’s
property; it’s a private event.' But I paid my tuition to be here.”
Earlier
Monday, black students at a Trump rally in Virginia were removed by
Secret Service after chanting, “No more hate! No more hate! Let's be
equal, let's be great!"
The
removal of the students comes as Trump faces a firestorm for not
disavowing former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke’s support during a
Sunday interview on CNN. Trump blamed a faulty earpiece for
misunderstanding the question and said he’s previously repudiated the
support.
At another Trump campaign event Monday, a photographer was slammed into a table by a security officer.
