People followed him with “Hill-a-ree Hill-a-ree” to drown him out. He stopped heckling and stayed another five minutes or so. Obama urged the hecklers to go to Trump’s rallies if they like him so much.
“All right. I think we’re OK now. I know that — I noticed this has been happening everywhere and I keep on telling folks you’ve got to organize your own rallies,” Obama said in an apparent reference the protest he faced a day earlier.
“You know, if you’re confident about the other guy, just go to his rallies. I feel confident about my candidate, that’s why I’m at this rally,” said the US President.
“So you don’t have to spend time over here. Go knock on some doors for your guy. That’s a better way for you to spend your time. Unless you’re just being paid to be here, in which case, you know, everybody’s got to make a living,” he said amidst applause from the audience.
A few minutes later as Obama questioned Trump’s honesty the same heckler began shouting again about Bill Clinton being a rapist. This time he was escorted out peacefully.
