Protesters at Trump's Economic Speech yelling "TINY HANDS"!

Per Major Garrett on CBS there were 14 protesters - 13 women and 1 man. He said it appeared that they were a group, but they were protesting individually to make the most out of their efforts. Major couldn't really hear what they were shouting, but did say that one reporter who was near the male protester said the only thing he was shouting was TINY HANDS - over & over!

I didn't see them. The station I was watching only had a camera on the podium. Native Aug 2016 #3

it is the one thing that has bothered Trump for years. I mean the guy still sends pictures of his hands circled in gold marker with comments like "not so tiny" to the reporter who first wrote about this many years ago. It obviously bothers Trump tremendously - enough to totally embarrass himself by bringing up the size of his penis during a national debate.

Granted, I wouldn't have chosen that to say, but I can see how someone might think it would throw Trump off balance, assuming that's their goal.
