A protester who interrupted former President Donald Trump’s rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania will face misdemeanor charges for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and disrupting a meeting or procession. The man jumped over a barricade, onto a press riser, and yelled at Trump, though his views on the former president remain unclear. Trump responded by saying, “He is on our side.” The protester was then handcuffed and removed from the rally but released on Friday. No injuries were reported during the incident. The charges are expected to be filed early next week. This disruption came after Trump criticized journalists, a common occurrence at his rallies where supporters often boo reporters. The protester’s motives are unknown and the Trump campaign has not yet commented on the expected charges. The local police in Johnstown confirmed the incident and expect charges to be filed soon.
