Trump's Georgia rally disrupted by anti-ICE protesters as he makes false claims about Jon Ossoff - Firstpost

US President Donald Trump address to a rally in Dalton, Georgia, was disrupted by three protesters holding up signs against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“She went up there, ripped them out of their seats and threw them the hell out of here. Where’s the woman with the yellow cape, then? She was great,” Trump said. “I love the woman with the yellow cape. She was right on there. She’s pushing them around, slapping the guy around,” he added.
