(FORT PIERCE, FL) Hundreds of Pro-Trump protesters gathered outside Hillary Clinton’s campaign rally at the Sunrise Theatre in Fort Pierce, FL on Friday. “She is the queen of death,” one female protester holding a pro-life banner yelled. “Look up Margret Sanger, she is the queen of death,” she added. The crowd, which began gathering around 8 AM EST, also contained a few Pro-Clinton protesters. One black female with a French-Haitian accent was heard yelling “Donald Trump is a traitor,” while she circled the block handing out flyers for the event. The large Pro-Trump crowd assembled in front of the Theatre's entrance, was heard chanting, “Hillary for prison,” as the chartered press coach arrived. A few protesters mistakenly rushed the bus, thinking Hillary Clinton had arrived, and gathered around the exiting doors before Secret Service agents and local police forcibly removed them. At the front of the peaceful gathering, an older white male wearing an embroidered veterans hat proudly waved a custom made flag with the writing “TRUMP for president.” Later in the morning, another group lined the streets of Fort Pierce’s main strip and sang Bannarama’s “Goodbye” song, directed at the Democratic nominee. Aside from the peaceful, yet powerfully roaring protests, there were a few verbal controntations between Clinton and Trump supporters. A Haitian man was heard arguing with a Trump supporter near the Sunrise Theatre. “That's my home, you say go home,” the black male wearing a blue polo and dark blue jeans said while pointing at the pavement of Second Street in downtown Fort Pierce. The Trump supporter dawning a star spangled banner hat with the writing "Trump 2016" responded, “go back to your stinking island. This is my home.” According to the wife of the man wearing the "Trump 2016" hat, prior to the exchange, the Haitian man was calling Trump supporters "losers" and repeatedly saying to passers by "go home losers". At approximately 11:30 AM EST, St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara said the Sunrise Theater had 1,200 people inside, telling WPBF25 reporter Jimmie Johnson Jr. the venue had reached full capacity. St. Lucie County Fire Chief, Captain Debbie Knupp, also confirmed to TRUNEWS correspondant Fior Hernandez that the event had reached seating capacity. Fior did note however that a section inside with atleast 100 seats was sealed off by the Clinton campaign for press covering the event. After the rally ended, a Black male attendee accused a Trump supporter — who was holding an American flag, wearing a red, white, and blue hat, and holding a sign detailing various Clinton scandals— of being from Russia. “You're not a Floridian,” the gray haired man said, finishing,“where was your flag made? Probably Russia, you don't know, because you're not an American.” The TRUNEWS team estimates rally attendance was roughly 1,700, with 1,000 inside Sunrise Theatre, and 700 outside unable to enter. Jim Gioin, the leader of the Pro-Trump protest, claimed his groups numbers to be around 300, however, the team believes a more accurate count is around 150. HILLARY'S COUGHING FIT During the speech, Hillary Clinton reportedly experienced a coughing fit similar to past incidents. According to TRUNEWS Social Media Director, Erick Rodriguez, who witnessed the speech live from the press pit, Hillary Clinton "began coughing, instantly grabbed what looked like a cough-drop, coughed once more, went hoarse for less than a minute, then kept going." “I’m trying to end the campaign focusing on issues that are really close to my heart,” Hillary Clinton said before her voice audibly went hoarse, finishing her sentence, “and this is one of them.” Clinton then raised her left hand to her mouth to muffle a light cough, and then returned both hands to the podium where she can be seen unwrapping what appears to be a cough drop. She then cleared her throat three times, once deeply, then lightly, and the last softly, as she attempted to continue speaking. She was then seemingly saved by the natural pause created by a scream from a rally attendee who yelled, “we love you Hillary,” and the accompanying backdrop of an audience applause. Hillary responded, “thank you,” and quickly placed the object she was seen previously unwrapping with her hands in her mouth, and swallowed deeply before smiling, clearing her throat once more before carrying on with her speech. “You know for me, service is really all about fulfilling the instruction of my Methodist faith, and you can see part of”, Hillary said before pausing briefly to clear her throat again, returning with the same noticeably hoarse voice, “the creed I like to follow behind me, do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.” Listening to audio excerpts of her speech, TRUNEWS correspondent Edward Szall noticed that Clinton first began experiencing vocal issues directly after mentioning her intent to end her campaign by “focusing on the issues close to her heart”. Ironically, to the voters, Clinton’s coughing fits have been close to their minds, as social media metrics show #HillarysHealth as one of the most popular twitter hashtags of the 2016 campaign. Also of note, Clinton’s voice began to go hoarse the moment she invoked her religious faith. Lastly, the previously used speech segment, where Clinton references the Methodist creed, has always been received favorably by crowds, and was likely strategically placed as the crescendo to her appearance. On this round however, it was clearly audibly interrupted by a coughing fit, visually detracting from the quotes power, and potentially conveying weakness on behalf of the Democratic nominee. The TRUNEWS team will provide updates and insight from Clinton’s speech in today's edition of the streamcast. ;
