CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas -- A protester has been charged with disorderly conduct after yelling at former President Bill Clinton during a campaign stop.
The Corpus Christi Caller-Times says that the man was holding a sign saying the Sept. 11 attacks were an inside job as Clinton spoke. The man yelled at Clinton later as the former president shook hands with the crowd.
Police were approaching the man when someone in the crowd grabbed his sign and tore it in half. The paper says the unidentified man screamed at officers to protect his First Amendment rights. Police handcuffed the man and took him to a patrol car and said he would be charged with disorderly conduct.
Clinton is campaigning for his wife, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.
