Trump tells Iowa backers to vote even if theyâre âsick as a dogâ: Protesters disrupt rally
Donald Trump is telling his supporters not to let anything stop them from voting for him in Monday’s Iowa caucuses.
“You can’t sit at home. If you’re sick as a dog … Even if you vote and then pass away,” Trump said at his Sunday rally.
The rally in Indianola is his only Iowa rally this weekend.
“These caucuses are your personal chance to score the ultimate victory over all of the liars, cheaters, thugs, perverts, frauds, crooks, freaks, creeps and other quite nice people,” he said at the commit-to-caucus event in Indianola.
“The Washington swamp has done everything in its power to take away your voice,” Trump added. “But tomorrow is your time to turn on them and to say and speak your mind and to vote. And we’re going to take this country back.”
Trump’s rally was briefly interrupted by protesters — the first time it’s happened in years.
“You’ve taken millions!” a woman shouted as Trump was mid-rally, prompting the crowd to respond with a “Trump!” chant to drown her out.
“Go back to Mommy,” Trump responded as she was led out of the room. “So young and immature.”
Moments later came another protester, this one holding a black and yellow banner that read “Trump Climate Criminal.” He shouted the same thing. The same group interrupted a DeSantis town hall and a separate event for the Florida governor in Ames last week.
When he was running in 2016, Trump’s events were routinely interrupted by protesters.
“That used to happen all the time,” Trump remarked. “It always adds excitement.”
