President Donald Trump’s appearance in Michigan was interrupted by chants of “pedophile protector” from a protester on Monday.

Videos shared on social media show Trump speaking in Milford while the protester or protesters repeatedly shouted the phrase during his remarks, briefly disrupting the event before the president continued speaking. The chants come as pressure has mounted from critics and some lawmakers for the release of additional documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The video shows the president saying, “He’s a communist, he’s a communist,” while pointing. The crowd then broke out into a chant of “USA! USA!” It is not immediately clear to Newsweek at the time of publication whether the protester or protesters were removed from the audience.

    “Pressure has mounted.” Looks like we did it folks. Soon someone will get slammed. Nothing else to see here.

      Yes, we can all rest peacefully knowing that at least the illegality of Trump’s actions are being noted…and absolutely nothing is being done to stop them
