Anti-Trump protesters loudly chanted, "F*** Donald Trump," and threw bottles and rocks at police officers in riot gear trying to usher them off. Videos from the Albuquerque Journal.



Someone held up a 'Fuck Trump' in the crowd and a group of people were in a Chevy Silverado waving the Mexican flag while driving:

"This happens all the time in Albuquerque.," one woman said. "Albuquerqueans love to protest.""When we walked out [of the Trump event] we were confronted and we were ambushed by six people in masks asking us if we were Donald Trump supporters, and then they proceeded to scream in our face, called us racists and faggots and a bunch of other stuff," she told CNN.Police eventually did use tear gas, after earlier reiterating that they had not yet done so.Trump responded to Tuesday night's antics and tweeted , 'The protesters in New Mexico were thugs who were flying the Mexican flag. The rally inside was big and beautiful, but outside, criminals!'
