Donald Trump's rally in southwest Virginia was filled with his supporters but there were also protesters and a bit of chaos during the whole event.
Donald Trump in Virginia
Thousands of individuals gathered in the Radford University gymnasium to hear the Republican front-runner's statement about his position concerning the race to the White House. The presidential aspirant is positive that he will be victorious in states that formerly supported Democrats, like Michigan and New York, The Washington Post reported.
Trump did not delay his announcement and started it by noting his huge lead based on the recent CNN poll.
"So you know CNN just released a poll an hour ago. And it even surprised me," Trump said according to ABC News. "I'll tell you. Just came out. Trump, 49 percent. Just came out. Oh, it's too bad. Gee, that's too bad. I'm looking at little Marco Rubio, 16 percent. Lying Ted Cruz, 15 percent. Carson, 10 and Kasich, 6 percent."
Trump and the Woman Protester
While Trump was discussing his plans for keeping jobs in the United States, there was a commotion at bay. Some of the crowd in the bleachers were mocking a woman protester.
When the billionaire politician noticed it, he addressed the woman and shouted at her as she stepped down from the bleachers, "Are you from Mexico?" He repeated it several times while the crowd booed the woman as she was escorted out.
Trump vs. Mexicans
Trump is very open about his plans concerning illegal immigrants. He has also called them rapists and killers in the past.
In a separate report from The Washington Post, Trump thinks Mexico is beating the country economically and that they are just making the Americans look stupid.
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you," Trump said. "They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
Other Protesters and Commotions
Meanwhile, another group of protesters, mostly African-Americans made noise by shouting "No more hate." It took about 10 minutes to escort the young protesters out.
As they left the place, the GOP candidate shouted, "All lives matter," which resulted in louder cheers. He made the same statement in Alabama on Sunday.
After the young protesters left, another commotion happened. TIME magazine photographer, Christopher Morris was about to leave the press section to take a few shots of the Black Lives Matter protesters when he was attacked by a Secret Service agent.
Morris was thrown onto the ground and choked. He said he did not touch the agent, but a video showed him kicking and reaching the officer's neck. TIME reported that Morris was briefly detained.
