A fight broke out on Wednesday between Donald Trump supporters and protesters at a campaign rally in Virginia.

When Trump began teeing off his routine speech against illegal immigration, protesters heckled him, shouting, "Dump Trump."

Hearing the hecklers, Trump suggested he was fine with the opposition, saying, "That's why we have freedom of speech."

Supporters tried to shout them down and a physical altercation broke out between a large group of protesters and supporters.

Trump continued speaking while the tussle erupted in the crowd. Protesters were later removed from the room.
