C.J. Carey says he’s a veteran and a Trump supporter and wanted to give the candidate a letter with some advice on how to expand his outreach. Near the stage he waved the letter he wanted to hand Donald Trump and then found himself being promptly thrown out of the rally, to the cheers of gathered deplorables. From The News & Observer:
Cary says he wanted to deliver a note to Trump urging him to be less offensive and more inclusive to four demographic groups: black people, women, people with disabilities and college students. Cary, an African-American, says he’s an ex-Marine who also worked in Afghanistan as a civilian for the U.S. Army.
He walked his way toward the front rows, stood about 20-30 feet from the stage and shouted “Donald” while waving his document to try to get Trump’s attention.
“He entirely mistook that and thought that I was a protester,” Cary said.
Watch as Donald Trump asked “Were you paid $1,500 to be here, thug?” and bellowed “get him out of here!” to the cheers the crowd, many of whom taunted and gave a one-finger salute to Carey on his way out:
Cary said someone in the security detail told him they’d pass along the letter. Uh-huh.
