Trump Heckled at New York Rally as President Fires Back 'Take Him Home to Mommy'

He was interrupted three times as he campaigned for Rep. Mike Lawler in a toss-up House race, according to the Cook Political Report.

  • On Friday, May 22, President Donald Trump campaigned for Republican Rep. Mike Lawler in Suffern, New York, where protesters interrupted his 90-minute speech three times at SUNY Rockland Community College.
  • Rockland County hosted the first presidential visit since Gerald Ford traveled there in 1976, as Trump aimed to support Lawler in a New York District race the Cook Political Report labeled a 'toss-up.'
  • During his speech, Trump mocked hecklers, telling one to "go home to mom," and joked that Melania Trump advised him to skip "unpresidential" stories about swimming and weightlifting.
  • American Research Group data published Thursday shows only 31% of American voters approve of Trump, highlighting stakes as he campaigns in districts where Vice President Kamala Harris won in 2024.
  • Social media comparisons contrasted Trump's confrontational response with how President Barack Obama addressed interruptions in 2013, as Republicans focus on defending Lawler's seat against potential Democratic pickups this November.
