Donald Trump supporters pushed protesters out of a venue in Las Vegas where the former president held a rally on Saturday night, according to reports.
As soon as Trump took the stage at the Big League Dreams ballpark, a small group of protesters dressed in American flags interrupted.
Without waiting for security to get involved, Trump supporters chased them down and physically forced them out, video from the show.
“USA! USA!” Trump fans cheered the protesters as they headed for the exits.
Some pushed back the protesters while others jeered and flipped the bird, according to a clip published by the Daily Mail.

“They’re really passionate friends,” Trump said as he tried to calm the rowdy crowd.
Trump’s stop in Nevada comes just days after he was ordered to pay E. Jean Carroll $83 million in her defamation lawsuit against the advice columnist, who accused her of sexually assaulting him in the 90s.
After picking up two key victories in Iowa and New Hampshire over the past two weeks, Trump is eyeing his third straight win in Nevada. With Nikki Haley his only opponent left after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis bowed out, Trump hopes to secure the nomination quickly.
“The message from our party’s voters is clear – It’s time to end this election and keep losing [Biden],” Trump said on Saturday night, according to the Daily Mail.

Across town, Vice President Kamala Harris hosted her own rally at IBEW Local 365 for President Biden’s re-election campaign. Biden is scheduled to visit the Las Vegas Valley on Feb. 4 ahead of the Feb. 6 Primary Election, KNTV reported.
Nevada’s primary, which is run by the state, will be held Feb. 6, with in-person early voting beginning Saturday and running through Feb. 2, according to the Nevada Secretary of State’s office.
The Nevada Republican Party, however, is separately holding an in-person caucus from 5 – 7:30 pm on February 8th. The party decided that the results of the caucus — not the primary — will determine which candidates are allocated delegates.
“In your state, you have both the primary and you have the caucus. Don’t worry about the primary, just do the caucus thing,” Trump told his voters. “And we’re going to go on to defeat Crooked Joe Biden.”
