Protesters with pocket Constitutions removed from Trump rally
By Jeremy Diamond, CNN
Updated 2144 GMT (0544 HKT) August 4, 2016
Portland, Maine (CNN)A group of protesters at Donald Trump's rally here on Thursday stood up silently during the Republican nominee's speech and held up pocket copies of the Constitution.
They were quickly ejected by campaign staffers and drew fierce boos and jeers from the roughly 1,800 Trump supporters packed into the auditorium, the capacity of the venue.
