It wasn't the Secret Service who booted black students.

at Trump's event.




The Secret Service says its agents did not remove the group of 30 black students escorted out of a Donald Trump campaign rally in Georgia on Monday. According to a CNN report, “They were asked to leave by the host committee and local law enforcement. We do not escort protesters (or) disruptors out of events,” said one Secret Service agent at the event, speaking on background. “[It’s] not a Secret Service function and [campaign] staff knows that.” Secret Service spokesman Kevin Dye said agents were present and routinely monitor such situations, but don’t actively remove protesters.
