A mixed and chaotic crowd of Donald Trump’s fans and haters gathered outside the Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan on Thursday afternoon, shouting each other down while the Republican presidential primary candidate gave a press conference inside the tower.
The station aired footage of the demonstrator, Efrain Galicia, chasing after the guard, who was carrying a sign he took from the protesters.
Schiller swung around and delivered a punch to the man’s face sending him reeling.
Another guard tried to restrain Galicia, appearing to briefly put him in a stranglehold, as the first one ran into Trump Tower. Galicia is seen backing up a few steps before being held back by another guard. “We brought all our banners. We know we can protest along the sidewalk”.
The Trump campaign told the New York Times that the guard was “jumped from behind” and that the campaign would “likely be pressing charges”.
“These men are acting just like their boss, Donald Trump, pushing Jorge Ramos from Univision out”, Galicia said of the guards. ‘These guys, his servants, they think they can do the same thing’. Lee also reported that an NYPD officer at the scene was told “conflicting stories” about the scuffle and that “no formal complaint has been filed” as of Wednesday evening. As images posted by CNN show, they came wearing faux Ku Klux Klan hoods and hats. “Whether people like it or not, that’s how we assimilate”. ‘We need to spread the ideas of the Mayan people!’
But Trump’s people said the protesters were the aggressors. “If you don’t believe that, then take these skyscrapers and shove them up your a-“. According to a recently Washington Post/ABC News poll published earlier this week, 82 per cent of Hispanics view Trump unfavorably, with 68 per cent feeling strongly so.
