Donald Trump is known for throwing out hecklers, but on Thursday he wanted to make sure one was punished for speaking out.

The GOP presidential candidate demanded that a man’s coat be confiscated as the protester was thrown out of his rally at the Flynn Center of the Performing Arts in Burlington, Vermont.

As the audience cheered him on, Trump urged security not to give the man his coat.

The man was just one of a number of protesters who showed up to Trump’s rally in Bernie Sanders’ home state, with many holding up signs supporting the Democratic presidential candidate

‘Get him out, get him out of here . Don’t give him his coat,’ the frontrunner said as he stood at the podium, where he had previously been discussing his campaign’s ‘unbelievable momentum’.

‘Keep his coat . Confiscate his coat,’ he continued. ‘You know, it’s about 10 degrees below zero outside.’

‘No, you can keep his coat .

Tell him we’ll send it to him in a couple of weeks,’ Trump finished as his supporters laughed.

It is not known if security complied with Trump’s demand.

Every rally attendee was asked if they planned to vote for Trump before they were allowed into the rally, according to the New York Daily News¹.

Those who answered ‘no’ were escorted out of the building.

‘I’m taking care of my people,’ Trump said in a statement.

‘Not people who don’t want to vote for me or are undecided . They are loyal to me and I am loyal to them.’

Trump later blamed the security guards at the Flynn Center for not controlling the disruptive crowd, saying it was reflective of the problems of America as a whole.

‘This is why we’re losing control of our country,’ he told his audience.

‘We lose control of our country ’cause everybody’s afraid to do anything .

They’re afraid to lose their jobs.’

On Friday a Muslim woman was removed from Trump’s campaign event in South Carolina after standing in silent protest following one of his controversial immigration comments.

Rose Hamid, 56, attended the event in Rock Hill wearing a hijab and a shirt that read ‘Salam, I come in peace,’ hoping that her presence might manage to change the opinion some Trump supporters have about members of the Islam faith.

She positioned herself directly behind Trump, and when he began to speak about Syrian refugees being banned from entering the United States and suggested that many had ties to ISIS, she silently stood up out of her seat.

Police immediately escorted her out of the event while the audience booed the woman and yelled at her to ‘get out,’ with one man screaming; ‘You have a bomb, you have a bomb.’

After Hamid had been removed, Trump said to the audience; ‘There is hatred against us that is unbelievable .

It’s their hatred, it’s not our hatred.’
