AMES, Iowa (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis was interrupted three times by as many protesters during a campaign stop in Ames, Iowa, Thursday, including two who were forcibly removed by security.
Speaking at his fourth event of the day just days before the leadoff Iowa caucuses, the Florida governor harshly criticized the protesters, saying they represent what's wrong with U.S. colleges and universities today, and reminded the crowd that he's the target of attacks from Democrats and the media.
DeSantis was on stage for about five minutes before a protester, who was close to the stage, stood up and shouted his name, seemingly to try to ask a question.
“Excuse me, hold on. Excuse me, I'm doing this,” DeSantis said. “I know you have an agenda. Stop.”
