Fox News interviewed Frank Dawson whom Trump called 'overweight' at the New Hampshire rally, but he spoke of his admiration for the president.
The man whom Donald Trump mocked at his rally in New Hampshire because of his weight was in fact a supporter of the president, it has been reported.
About 30 minutes into the rally in Manchester on Thursday night, there was a disturbance by a small group of protesters who were carrying banners with the words"Jews against the occupation" according toA man next to the group, later identified as Frank Dawson, grabbed one banner and threw it into a nearby entryway. He then grabbed a second and threw it over the edge of the balcony and it landed in the crowd below.
The comment sparked accusations that Trump had fat-shamed a protester, but as journalists at the event noted, most of the protesters were thin,In any case, it turned out that the man Trump had made fun of was in fact a fan of his. After the rally, Fox News' Griff Jenkins said that he managed to catch up with the man who was the target of the president's remarks.
Dawson said he is a retired Navy veteran who had 31 years in law enforcement. When asked about what he thought about his weight being so publicly commented on, Dawson replied:"Everything's good, I love the guy, he's the best thing that ever happened to this country."
