Heckler Ejected From Trump Rally for Demanding New Jokes

In politics, we usually think of a “heckler” as anyone who disrupts an event with an unplanned outburst, but very rarely is that person an actual heckler, someone who harangues a stage performer over the entertainment value of their performance. At a Donald Trump rally in Windham, New Hampshire on Monday, however, an actual heckler proclaimed “This is boring!” and began to demand “jokes” from Donald Trump, who handled it as you might expect, ordering the man removed.

Fox 25 reporter Sharman Sacchetti (one of the best names ever in local news) captured video of the “Make America Great Again” hat-bedecked heckler being removed, and explaining that “I love Donald but it’s so boring! It’s getting a little old. I want, like, new jokes.”

Trump’s rallies have been plagued by disruptions, but this appears to be the first heckler to be removed for complaining that Trump wasn’t funny enough. Trump missed an opportunity to score the laugh of the decade by failing to lead his crowd in chanting “Check tour privilege!”
