Washington — Former President Donald Trump and independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr.’s attempts to appeal to the Libertarian Party fell on deaf ears this weekend, with the third-party crowd interrupting and mocking both at the party’s convention in Washington, D.C.
A chaotic scene unfolded as Trump took the stage Saturday, as Libertarians clashed with pro-Trump attendees throughout his speech, resulting in multiple people being removed from the room and the crowd split between jeers, boos and chants directed at Trump.
“You can either nominate us and give us the position, or give us your votes,” Trump said to boos as he departed the stage.
Trump repeatedly snapped back at the crowd and their hostility, telling them at one point to “keep getting your 3% [of the national vote] every four years,” adding “maybe you don’t want to win.”
