Former President Donald Trump stopped in Indianola, Iowa, on Sunday to deliver a speech at a rally, facing protests from some attendees.
According to Fox News on Monday, January 14, a female protester shouted, “You take millions,” to which Trump responded, “I would go home to mommy.” Despite interruptions, he addressed the crowd, remarking on the frequency of such incidents, noting that he hadn’t experienced it in about two and a half to three years.
The Indianola speech was part of Trump’s final push to garner support in Iowa ahead of the Iowa Caucuses on Monday. During his address, he touched on various topics, including his controversial comments about immigrants allegedly poisoning the nation’s blood.
These remarks have stirred debate and controversy, with critics arguing that they contribute to a negative perception of immigrants. The female protester’s interruption was not an isolated incident, as nearly a minute later, others shouted, “Climate Criminal.” Trump’s supporters responded with chants of “USA, USA, USA,” drowning out the protestors.
Undeterred, Trump continued his speech, emphasizing the importance of America and its values. Throughout his political career, Trump has been recognized for making provocative statements and engaging in controversial behavior. His comments on immigrants, in particular, have sparked debates, with Trump defending them based on his observations and experiences with migrants crossing the southern border. While generating controversy, these statements have also contributed to his notoriety and influence in the political landscape.
