President Barack Obama chastised supporters at a rally for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in North Carolina on Friday, as tensions spiked when a supporter of Republican opponent Donald Trump began protesting.
But that didn't stop Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, campaigning a few states away at the time, from telling a completely opposite version of what happened, condemning Obama for screaming at the protester.
In Trump's version, Obama scolded the protester, not the crowd.
"He was talking to the protester, screaming at him, really screaming at him," Trump said.
"By the way, if I spoke the way Obama spoke to that protester they would say, ‘He became unhinged,’” Trump said.
