President Trump gave a left-wing heckler the boot from his highly-anticipated speech at the 2018 Conservative Political Action Conference Friday morning; easing the mainstream media’s concerns and saying security officials were “very gentle” with the activist.

The President was delivering his remarks at CPAC when a liberal protester began screaming anti-Trump slurs and throwing Russian flags towards the stage; prompting the audience to chant “U-S-A!” as the man was removed from the convention.

“Just for the media, the fake news back there, they took very good care of him. They were very gentle,” said Trump. “He was very obnoxious. It was only one person. So, we have thousands of people here. So listen, tomorrow the headline will be a ‘Protesters that disturbs.’ It was one person folks. It doesn’t deserve a mention.”

“You have to show your spirit, right?” joked the President, returning to his scripted remarks.
