Watch Obama defend a Trump supporter's rights at a Clinton rally (Sarah Pulliam Bailey, November 4, 2016, The Washington Post)
President Obama on Friday defended the rights of a Donald Trump supporter after a crowd at a rally for Hillary Clinton in North Carolina erupted when the supporter stood up and started shouting.As the president was saying Trump is "uniquely unqualified" to succeed him, a white-haired man wearing a beret and what appeared to be military patches held up a Trump sign and was shouted down with chants of "Hillary! Hillary!" according to the Reuters news agency."Hold up, hold up, hold up," Obama shouted several times, urging the crowd of 4,500 at a gym at Fayetteville State University to listen. "I told you to be focused and you're not focused right now. Listen to what I'm saying.""Everybody sit down and be quiet for a second. Everybody sit down and be quiet for a second. Now listen up. I'm serious. Listen up," Obama said. "You've got an older gentleman who is supporting his candidate. He's not doing nothing. You don't have to worry about him."
