A small group of Trump supporters were removed from a campaign event in Nevada on Thursday after Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., pointed them out.
Minutes into an event for Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Jacky Rosen at University of Nevada, Reno, Sanders addressed a handful of people on the second floor of a nearby garage who had unfurled a "Make America Great Again" banner.
“Really? Do you really want to give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1 percent?†Sanders said, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. “Is that what you want?â€
Soon after, the outlet reports Democratic campaign operatives ushered them out. Some of the half-dozen individuals returned later, but the flag did not re-emerge.
While event emcee Wil Adler told the outlet that university officials asked him to remove the demonstrators because they were not in a “free speech zone," campus police pushed back, saying it was a public university.
