Secret Service race to protect Trump after phone is thrown at him

by · Mail Online

A secret service agent rushed to protect Donald Trump from a cellphone being thrown at him at a Pennsylvania rally. 

Shocking video captured the moment a crowd member threw the device in front of the Republican nominee, as he walked off the Allentown stage on Tuesday.

Trump was seemingly unfazed and continued walking forward, waving at the cheering crowd and giving them a thumbs up. 

Meanwhile, one of his secret service agents sprung into action and quickly ran towards the phone and kicked it away from the candidate. 

The agent kept walking forward and appeared to be pointing at the phone he just kicked.

Trump visited Allentown - a predominately Latino community - shortly after receiving backlash for comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's comments about Puerto Rico at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally

The city is 54 percent Latino or Hispanic, according to government data. Trump took the opportunity to make a redeeming appeal to Latino voters. 

'Nobody loves our Latino community and our Puerto Rican Community more than I do. It's interesting because I've done more for Puerto Rico than any president by far,' Trump asserted. 

'I will deliver the best future for Puerto Ricans and for Hispanic Americans.' 

He called several Latino supporters to the stage, including Sen. Marco Rubio.

Outside of Trump's rally, a group of Latino demonstrators marched and chanted in protest of the former president's event. 

The cellphone-chucking incident comes after two assassination attempts on Trump, which have left his security team on high alert. 

On July 13, the first act of violence against Trump left the former president with a bloodied ear while he was speaking at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally

The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot dead soon after he fired the shot, which killed an attendee and left two others seriously injured.

A crowd of thousands of fans cheered Trump on at the rally 

Vem Miller, 49, showed fake VIP credentials and illegally possessed a shotgun, a loaded handgun and a high-capacity magazine in his car. 

Local law enforcement claimed the incident was 'probably' a third attempt at harming or killing Trump, but he was ultimately unharmed. 

'This incident did not impact the safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event,' the Riverside County Sheriff's Office insisted in a statement.
