Republican
presidential nominee Donald Trump was rushed off the stage by Secret
Service at a campaign rally in Reno, Nevada on Saturday.
An
unidentified individual yelled “gun” while Trump was speaking, the
Secret Service said in a statement. Secret Service agents and Reno
police detained the man and after a thorough search, did not find a gun,
the statement said.
CBS News producer Arden Farhi said it all happened very quickly, but it appeared their was a commotion near the podium.
Trump
returned to the stage shortly afterward, and said “nobody said it was
going to be easy for us. But we will never be stopped. Never, ever be
stopped.”
He thanked the Secret Service and then returned to his speech.
The
Reno rally was a last-minute trip to the swing state. It was his third
rally on Saturday in the last, long weekend before Election Day.
Trump began speaking just before 5:30 p.m., according to CBS affiliate KTVN.
Looking
specifically at Reno, Trump said that “Reno and northern Nevada can
carry this thing.” He continued to say in regards to Tuesday’s vote,
“It’s up to the great people of Washoe County to get this done.” Then he
spoke against the man who he called “Crazy Harry”, Senator Harry Reid.
However he did not endorse any candidate to take his place.
Other
talking points included the “rigged system” and the investigation into
Hillary Clinton’s emails. Later on, Trump also spoke about healthcare,
saying as president he would begin by “completely repealing and
replacing Obamacare”.
Switching to international policy, he said
he would “suspend the Syrian refugee problem” and keep “radical Islamic
terrorists the hell out of our country.” Then began speaking about
building the wall, the “great wall” at Mexico’s border, emphasizing that
he would let people in legally. He says that the process to become a
legalized citizen will be “streamlined” and “efficient.”
