Marco Rubio holding weekend rally, fundraiser in Raleigh

“I mean, we are people that can tolerate differences and respect people, and this is just nonsense”, Kasich said Saturday at the Kemp Foundation Forum on Expanding Opportunity Saturday in Columbia, South Carolina.

With six weeks to go until SC picks its Republican choice for president, several candidates in the GOP field are scheduled to make campaign stops across the Palmetto State this weekend.

The protesters later told reporters they were primarily targeting Rubio’s opposition to a policy called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, which allows people who illegally entered the country as children to be exempt from deportation.

He also joked that protesters should interrupt while Kasich was speaking.

Security officers escorted the protesters out of the venue without issues. “That’s not the spirit of Jack Kemp”, Kasich (R-Ohio) said of Trump’s rally the night before when a woman wearing a hijab stood in silent protest behind Trump. “But it’s not my event”, Rubio said.

“I thought about handling it the way another candidate does”.

On Friday, protesters at a Trump rally were ejected from the crowd while the GOP front-runner spoke about Syrian refugees and the possibility that they were members of the terror organization ISIS. “That is not the Republican Party”. While going over his economic-growth proposals, Rubio found himself repeatedly interrupted by protesters, who heckled him for his (lately) anti-amnesty position on immigration.
