'Are you from Mexico?' Trump singles out woman at rally marred by protests, violence

Source: Fox News Latino

Donald Trump’s Secret Service detail has certainly had its work cut out for them in the lead-up to the Super Tuesday elections as the Republican front-runner's recent rallies have been plagued by interruptions and protests.

During an event at Radford University in Virginia on Monday, Trump was interrupted five times – once by a group of African-American protesters and once by a young female woman.

"Are you from Mexico?" Trump asked the woman, who was quickly booed by the real estate mogul’s supporters and escorted out of the rally.

"Right smack in the middle of my punchline,” Trump told the crowd after the interruption.

(This is an actual Pink Floyd song off The Wall.)

So ya thought ya might like to come to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow
Well, I've got some bad news for ya, Sunshine...
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel.
And they sent us along as a surrogate band...
So we're gonna find out where you fans really stand!

Are there any queers in the theatre tonight?
Get 'em up against the wall! (Against - the - wall...)
There's one in the spotlight! He don't look right to me!
Get him up against the wall! (Against - the - wall...)
That one looks Jewish! And that one's a coon!
Who let all this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint! And that one's got spots!
If I had my way I'd have all of you shot!

Some people don't like your message. Some people are going to go to your rally and let you know they don't like your message. That is part of American politics. The only people who don't have this option are people on your payroll, and we've already seen people quit their candidates and then criticize that candidate. So put your big boy pants on and show some respect for the American voters. This is government of the people, by the people, for the people, so deal with it. If you can't, drop the hell out of the race.

Secret Service is there to protect Trump, not control protesters (unless they attack Trump). If she was escorted out, it was probably by security hired by Trump.

Second, I doubt she was a protester. She was probably an actress hired by Trump, to be escorted out by other actors hired by Trump. This is his stage, he's the star, he's the producer.

It's ironic (to me anyway) that Fox Latino is in English.
I believe the other news networks have their "Latino" sites in Spanish?
