Clearly the screening process didn’t work to prevent protests and at one point during Trump’s speech, he paused.

“Throw them out”, Trump shouts, before telling the crowd “Isn’t it exciting?” “You go to a Jeb event, you fall asleep!” Bernie Sanders got his start.

Trump defended the decision, describing it a matter of loyalty. After another interruption, Trump simply called the protesters “rude”.

Outside, each time people were escorted from the theater, anti-Trump protesters gathered in City Hall Park across the street greeted them with cheers.

The Burlington rally is drawing national media attention.
