It was further reported that a member of Biden’s staff called police as the bus was swarmed by Trump supporters.
Some in Biden’s corner called this out, while those supportive of Trump referred to it as “trolling.”
“Rather than engage in productive conversation about the drastically different visions that Joe Biden and Donald Trump have for our country, Trump supporters in Texas instead decided to put our staff, surrogates, supporters, and others in harm’s way,” Tariq Thowfeek, Texas communications director of the Biden campaign, said in a statement Saturday.
President Donald Trump acknowledged what happened and wrote on Twitter, “I LOVE TEXAS!” Trump shared a copy of the video showing what happened.
