At a campaign rally for President Donald Trump at San Antonio's Freeman Coliseum on Oct. 7, 2026, at least ten people were removed from the venue by law enforcement or walked out after interrupting the event, CBS News reported.
What happened
Less than ten minutes after Trump began speaking, a person shouted from the stage area and was pulled away by a man in a red hat who grabbed the protester’s hair, sparking a brief physical altercation. Security and police later escorted several other individuals out of the hall while the crowd booed. One protester was handcuffed before being led out.
What was said
During the disruptions, Trump mocked the ejected attendees, saying, "He's going back home to mom right now," and later quipped that one person "has got to lose a lot of weight" and called others "really bad‑looking people." CBS News noted the president’s remarks were delivered as the crowd jeered the protesters.
How it came about
The rally was Trump’s third Texas stop in recent weeks, intended to support Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton against Democratic challenger James Talarico. The event follows a series of heightened tensions surrounding Trump’s campaign appearances, including recent threats against him in Alabama and controversial comments about Iran.
