(Hill) A Muslim Virginia state legislator on Tuesday interrupted President Trump and shouted “you can’t send us back” as the president delivered remarks at an event in Jamestown, Va., celebrating 400 years of representative democracy.
“You can’t send us back, Virginia is our home,” Ibraheem Samirah, a lawmaker who represents the 86th District in the Virginia House of Delegates, shouted near the beginning of Trump’s speech.
Samirah proceeded to face the audience while brandishing a sign reading “go back to your corrupted home,” “deport hate” and “reunite my family.” He was escorted away by security as people in the crowd repeatedly chanted “Trump.”
Trump, who regularly denounces protesters at campaign rallies, did not address the latest demonstration.
