Via POLITICO's Ginger Gibson, Mitt Romney pushed
back hard at protesters who tried to disrupt his rally with Paul Ryan in
Wisconsin:
"You see young man, this group here is
respectful of other people’s right to be be heard. And you ought to find
yourself a different place to be disruptive, because here we believe in
listening to people with dignity and respect."
Previously, Ryan had spoke at length without an
interruption, but after Romney began speaking a handful of protesters disrupted
his remarks.
The crowd shouted down the first group, chanting
"USA" to drown them out. But after the police had escorted most away
from the stage, another group of protester broke out.
Romney rarely confronts protesters, and rarely with
such force as he confronted the ones in Waukesha.
While it couldn't be heard what the protester was
yelling about from the press area, Romney tied the shouters to President
Obama's campaign, arguing that they were playing dirty politics.
It was the second time on Sunday that he had been
disrupted while speaking. At a rally in High Point, N.C., earlier in the day, a
Ron Paul supporter had started shouting while Romney was recognizing veterans.
At that point, Romney had more calmly voiced
unhappiness for the interruption.
