Groups of protesters disrupted Donald Trump’s speech here three times on Friday night.
His supporters vigorously drowned out the protesters with boos, cheers and shouts of “USA,” We want Trump” and “Go home.”
Some Trump supporters also jostled the protesters and called them “illegals” as they were booted from the event by campaign staff and security.
“Don’t hurt ’em, don’t hurt ’em,” said Trump, mindful that past protests have pushed some of his supporters to physical violence. “You can get ’em out, just don’t hurt ’em.”
Trump added, “That’s what freedom of speech is about.”
There were three separate groups of protesters, but only a handful in each group. As the third disruption of protesters broke out, Trump warned any potential hecklers that he would not be so nice if they interrupted him again.
He continued to fire up his supporters who had gathered at his National Miami Doral resort.
“Isn’t this more fun than having like a normal deal?” Trump asked. “This is more fun, right?”
