Not even a tribute to a member of Congress shot by a raging leftist is sacred enough to not be disrupted by protesters.
As President Trump was “sending thoughts and prayers” to Rep. Steve Scalise, agitators attempted to shut him down by blowing whistles.

“I’d like to take this moment to send our thoughts and prayers to our courageous friend,” he was saying as whistles could be heard.
“Somebody that I’ve gotten to know very well — Steve Scalise,” the president said, “and everyone recovering from the assault.”
As the crowd grew restless, Trump looked over his right shoulder at the disruptors.
Motioning for the person or persons to be ejected, Trump said, “Never fails. Never fails.”
The perpetrators who claimed credit said they are “future teachers taking a stand against what’s going on in our government.”
