Protesters have become a regular feature of Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s events, and Tuesday night’s debate proved no different.
While the protester’s exact words were unintelligible during the live broadcast, a voice shouting could distinctly be heard while Trump was responding.
CNN’s Dylan Byers identified the protester as Kai Newkirk, a member of the group 99 Rise.

A Twitter user by the same name tweeted he caused the disruption to call attention to big money in politics.

So, Mitt Romney did attend the debate after all.
I thought it was Barbara Bush
Did CNN security beat him with clubs or set him on fire ? ? — The Don probably doesn’t feel very much at home —
She did say that, “We’ve had enough douches.” Or was it Bushes? Is there a difference?
The debate was televised so The Don hasta be on good behavior not his usual brownshirt self.
