Trump said it was 'ok' if anyone made his event 'as uncomfortable as possible.' So someone did.
Trump was forced into silence as a protester interrupted his speech in Virginia on Tuesday to shame him for his racist attacks.
"Heading to Jamestown, Virginia. Word is the Democrats will make it as uncomfortable as possible, but that’s ok because today is not about them!" Trump wrote before he made the trip from the White House to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the first representative legislative assembly.
So a protester took him up on his challenge.
"Mr. President you can't send us back, Virginia is our home," the protester shouted, holding up signs saying "Deport Hate" and "Reunite My Family." Trump had to stop his speech as the man spoke and was clearly not happy about being interrupted.

The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus issued a statement Monday, explaining that they were boycotting the event.
"The participation of the President is antithetical to the principles for which the caucus stands," the group said. "The commemoration of the birth of this nation and its democracy will be tarnished unduly with the participation of the President, who continues to make degrading comments toward minority leaders, promulgate policies that harm marginalized communities, and use racist and xenophobic rhetoric."
