A protestor was arrested after he attempted to storm the stage at Donald Trump's New Hampshire rally on Saturday.
Ticket holders waited in below-freezing temperatures for hours just to see former President Donald Trump. The event was so popular that it hit maximum capacity, but that didn't stop people from storming the arena and attempting to get inside.
After the event started and Donald Trump took the stage, a man attempted to get up on stage with the former President, however, the Secret Service stopped him, and he was placed in handcuffs immediately.
The incident was caught on camera and shared on social media. See the video below.
Donald Trump Calls Protestor A 'Disturbed Person'
During his New Hampshire rally, Donald Trump was met with a "disturbed person" as a man tried to storm the stage.
“Who is this? Is this a friend,” Trump asked during the rally on Saturday night. “Get out of here. Get out of here,” the former President yelled. “You can throw him out.”
The individual reportedly tried to walk towards the stage, but a member of the Secret Service was stationed at the bottom of the stairs and stopped the man from going any further.
Police immediately arrested him and escorted him out of the arena.
“Well, now we know that politics is getting serious, so now we know we’re getting serious,” Trump said as the police walked the protestor out. “Now he’s just a disturbed person.”

As the man was being escorted out of the arena, Trump supporters were heard booing before they chanted "USA, USA."
The former President of the United States, who is considered a front-runner for the upcoming 2024 election, said protestors are only speaking out because “we’re leading."
“Remember that this used to happen all the time. But now, probably, we’re really now in the political season,” he said to his supporters, adding, “And a lot of those guys, by the way, are paid by Soros. So these people, you know, are troublemakers.”
“This is only happening because of all the weaponization, because we’re leading,” Trump continued.
Donald Trump Slammed For Confusing Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley
During the Saturday rally, Donald Trump discussed the January 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol, which is when he referenced Nikki Haley multiple times when he probably meant to name Nancy Pelosi.
“By the way, they never report the crowd on January 6. You know, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley … did you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it? All of it, because of lots of things, like Nikki Haley is in charge of security, we offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, national guards, whatever they want. They turned it down.”
As you may know, Nikki Haley was not in office at the time of the January 6th attacks on Capitol Hill.
“Last night, Trump is at a rally, and he’s going on and on mentioning me several times as to why I didn’t take security during the Capitol riots. Why I didn’t handle January 6 better. I wasn’t even in DC on January 6. I wasn’t in office then,” Nikki Haley said, per CNN.
She added, “They’re saying he got confused. That he was talking about something else. That he was talking about Nancy Pelosi. He mentioned me multiple times in that scenario.”
Donald Trump is currently a front-runner in the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election.
