The man seemed to be mouthing
something at Trump and wore a gold star, signifying of one of the racial
remarks the Donald has made duiring his bid for the Republican
nomination
'But
today everybody is politically correct. You know, it is a shame, when
you think,' Trump said after the man wearing the shirt was removed.
Only a few minutes later Trump had to stop again as another protester disrupted the rally, according to The Hill.
The
clip, recorded on Friday, comes the same day Chris Christie's
endorsement of Trump fractured the Republican party into pro-Trump and
anti-Trump divisions.
Earlier
on Friday, Trump was endorsed by former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David
Duke as well as New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
Trump said he was unaware of Duke's endorsement while discussion Christie's at a press conference.
'I didn't even know he endorsed me.
'David Duke endorsed me? OK, alright. I disavow, OK?' Trump said.

Christie's
endorsement has caused a greater fracture in the Republican party as it
could have the power to bring more establishment-aligned officials and
donors into Trump's camp.
According to NBC News, the cracks within the party have already emerged.
The
conservative National Review is openly hostile to the real estate mogul
and tore into Christie after he endorsed Trump, calling him
opportunistic and unprincipled.
The
editor of the New Hampshire Union-Leader, which endorsed Christie in
that primary, said Christie told him he would never back Trump, NBC News
reported.
Day of
endorsements: New Jersey
Governor Chris Christie endorsed Donald Trump on Friday
Christie's endorsement of Trumps sent
ripples through the Republican party as it proved the Donald can pull
establishment politicians to his side
As
Trump tries to lock up the Republican nomination on Super Tuesday,
Christie advisers and supporters told Reuters in interviews that he
could bring much-needed financial and strategic backing.
Christie's
backing demonstrates that Trump will be able to bring establishment
politicians into the fold, that he could raise the money necessary for a
general election campaign and build a staffing operation that can rival
a Democratic nominee.
The nod from Christie comes at a critical moment.
On
Tuesday, 11 states will vote and if Trump is able to win all or most of
them, he could pull so far ahead in the competition for delegates that
none of his rivals will be able to catch him.
In an interview with Reuters, Christie supporter Finn Wentworth, a real estate investor and former head of the company that owns the New York Yankees, New Jersey Nets and New Jersey Devils, said he is now seriously considering backing Trump. The backing from Christie comes as Trump approaches Super Tuesday, which could clinch the nomination
Christie was torn apart by some organizations, who quoted him as saying he would 'never back Trump'
'I am a long-time supporter of Governor Christie.
'In that process, I have learned to respect his opinion and his judgment,' Wentworth said.
'He's a results-oriented person, and frankly I am now looking at Donald Trump because of Governor Christie's endorsement today.'
Maine
Governor Paul LePage, who had backed Christie initially, quickly
followed in the New Jersey governor's footsteps and got behind Trump -
making him the second sitting governor to endorse the New York real
estate mogul. Maine votes on March 5.
A
senior Christie aide told Reuters he believes staff could move to the
Trump campaign in the coming weeks, helping the Republican front-runner
in his fledgling efforts to build a circle of advisers who could form
the core of his general election campaign should he clinch the
nomination.
Wentworth
said part of his decision-making process is that he is now convinced it
is inevitable that Trump will clinch the Republican nomination.
