The Donald is rushed off the stage by Secret Service while speaking during Reno rally
2016-11-06
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Secret Service agents rushed Donald Trump offstage on Saturday evening during a rally in Reno, Nevada after they determined a protester in the audience might pose a threat to the Republican presidential candidate.

'Go! Go!' agents shouted as they whisked Trump away and a combination of local police and private security wrestled Austyn Crites, 33, to the ground in the front of the crowd.

Crites identifies as a 'Republican' who supports Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, according to his Facebook page.

A senior Trump campaign official told DailyMail.com that the suspect, whom rally-goers already identified as an anti-Trump protester, caused a panic when he reached into his waistband.

At that point, the campaign official said, a voice called out: 'He's got a gun!'

Trump's protective detail sprang into action, pulling him offstage as a sea of bodies scattered, screams rang out and authorities dragged Crites away as he kicked and strained.

#8  No gun, Krazy Klinton Kook?

According to the 4:06 a.m. EST update of the article, no gun was found, and it sounds very much like the miscreant was the kind of plant Project Veritas revealed as Clinton campaign contractors business as usual.

Crites, who has since been released, appeared on local newscasts saying he had merely been holding a sign that read 'Republicans Against Trump.'

When he reached into his waistband, however, police and good Samaritans took the man down.


Tracking his connections should prove amusing.

#6  I think the Secret Service will do anything to prevent "the Donald" from getting harmed. The thought of a Hillary presidency is just too frightening for them. They have seen that movie before. They have the same aversion I do, I don't like a shrieking woman in the a.m. before I have my coffee.
