Multiple protesters interrupted U.S. President Donald Trump as he spoke at a rally in Texas in support of Ken Paxton, according to a live report from The Guardian.
The interruptions appeared to momentarily derail the president during his remarks, the report said. Trump responded by claiming, without evidence, that the protesters were being paid, a characterization the report described as baseless. He also repeated a claim about Texas state Representative James Talarico that The Guardian's report identified as false, though the specific content of that claim was not detailed.
The rally took place amid a broader U.S. political news cycle covered by the Guardian's live blog, which also touched on separate developments including upcoming midterm election debates. Details about the exact number of protesters involved in the Trump rally, their identities, or the specific grievances behind their demonstration were not included in the available report.
Paxton, the Texas attorney general at the center of the rally, was not reported to have commented directly on the disruptions. It was also not specified how event security responded to the interruptions or whether any protesters were removed from the venue.
The episode adds to a pattern of recent Trump rallies in Texas being met with vocal protests, according to related reporting.
