A cellphone was thrown at President Trump as he approached the podium to give an address at the NRA convention in Indianapolis Friday. The phone missed Trump by several feet and bounced harmlessly on the stage at Trump’s left. Video of the incident was posted to Twitter by reporter Bradley Brewer who reported the person who threw the phone was arrested.
Katie Pavlich witnessed the incident and noted it took the Secret Service several minutes to detain the man and that he hung around near the front of the stage carrying a soda until he was arrested.
A man threw a cell phone on stage when President Trump walked out for his @nra speech. He threw it stage left, while POTUS was closer to stage right. The man hung around up front for a few minutes, carrying Mt. Dew, as POTUS started remarks and then Secret Service removed him.
