U.S. President Donald Trump was interrupted multiple times by protesters during a rally in Texas, according to a report from Anadolu Agency.
Responding to the disruptions, Trump told the crowd, "These are paid protesters. They're paid by enemies of our nation," according to the report. The report did not specify the identity of the protesters, the number involved, or what cause they were demonstrating for.
Details about the specific location in Texas, the size of the rally, or how security handled the repeated interruptions were not included in available reporting. It is also unclear from the report what evidence, if any, Trump cited for his claim that the protesters were paid by foreign or domestic adversaries.
Disruptions by protesters have periodically occurred at political rallies in the United States, with organizers and attendees sometimes characterizing demonstrators in different ways depending on their political affiliation. Trump has previously made similar claims about protesters being funded by opponents at past events, though no additional substantiating information was available in this report.
No further comment from rally organizers, local law enforcement, or the protesters themselves was included in the available account of the event.
