COACHELLA, Calif. — During a rally in Coachella, California, former President Donald Trump made contentious remarks directed at a protester present at the event. He suggested that she should “go back home to Mommy” and whimsically referenced the idea of violence, calling for her to “get the hell knocked out of her.” This incident marks yet another occasion where Trump has employed aggressive language when facing opposition during his speeches.
The protester was escorted out amid boos from the audience, who reacted enthusiastically to Trump’s comments. In a mocking tone, he continued to impersonate what he envisioned the protester’s mother might say, claiming she would ask, “Was that you, darling?” followed by his comment about her deserving to be physically harmed.
Trump concluded his thoughts on the matter by suggesting a personal connection, saying, “Her mother’s a big fan of ours,” referring to her parents before shifting back to the main topics of his speech. Details regarding the protester’s actions during the rally and her fate following the incident remain unclear.
This is not an isolated instance, as Trump has a track record of making aggressive remarks towards individuals who disrupt his rallies. Back in his 2016 campaign, he encouraged supporters to retaliate against demonstrators with phrases like “knock the crap” out of them and expressed a desire to “punch” a dissenting voice.
