The rally also was interrupted at least 10 separate times by protesters, some of whom were wearing Black Lives Matter shirts and chanting “Black Lives Matter”. “He says some things that need to be said… sometimes I cringe at some of the things he says”, Ditcheos said, but contrasted Trump with those he considered untruthful politicians.
During another interruption, Trump simply responds with a “hello”.
“Don’t worry about it”, Trump told the audience as he stood up at the podium.
Several protesters were thrown out of the event after they attempted to interrupt Trump’s address.
Trump, however, told CBS News Friday evening in an interview that he doesn’t believe gunman Syed Farook’s sister is innocent and that he would go after her. “I would go after a lot of people and find out whether or not they knew”.
As you probably noticed, Trump also said of one protester, “Look at the cameras taking his picture”. “We’re going to get it stopped because we can’t allow this to happen to our country”. “Build that wall, Donald J. Trump!” Trump said. “We have become so politically correct that we don’t know what the hell we’re doing”.
All were removed quickly as the crowd booed and Trump continued. A man with his hair pulled back into a bun and sporting a scraggly beard began shouting loudly, peppering accusations of fascism with profanity.
Once Trump recognised the two, he asked them to join him on the stage.
As per WNCN, the local affiliate for NBC, Trump smiled at each instance while security and other supporters used force in escorting the protesters out of the rally.
But by the end of the rally, they seemed simply annoyed.

A combination of the Wake County Sheriff Department, Secret Service, Trump security, North Carolina State Fairgrounds Police and Highway Patrol were working the event according to Harrison. Eventually, a guard grabbed him by the arm and pulled him through the crowd.
