Trump booed and heckled by raucous crowd at Libertarian convention
WASHINGTON - Presidential candidate Donald Trump was booed and heckled by many in a raucous audience at the Libertarian National Convention on Saturday night, a marked change from the adulation he receives at rallies from his fervently loyal supporters.
Shortly before he appeared, one Libertarian Party member shouted:"Donald Trump should have taken a bullet!"Trump, who was president between 2017 and 2021, immediately mentioned the total 88 felony charges he faces in four federal and state prosecutions. He added:"We should not be fighting each other." He asked libertarians to work with him to defeat Biden, an appeal which was greeted by many boos, although the vast majority in the crowd were fiercely opposed to Biden and his administration.
Trump has been ramping up attacks on Kennedy, who is running as an independent, recently calling him a"fake" anti-vaccination proponent. "The Libertarian Party can make a big difference. If we unite we will be unstoppable," Trump said to a mix of applause and jeers. He pledged to put a libertarian in his cabinet if he wins the election, which was met by cries of"bullshit!"
