The incident happened at an election rally in Cleveland, Ohio. Early in the speech as Obama noted that he'd promised to work as hard as he could, a man in the back started heckling. "While you're not golfing!"
A moment later, the same man began shouting "Bill Clinton's a rapist! Bill Clinton's a rapist!" And he opened his jacket to reveal and T-shirt with Bill Clinton's image and the word "RAPE." There were other hecklers elsewhere in the crowd.
People followed him with "Hill-a-ree Hill-a-ree" to drown him out. He stopped heckling and stayed another five minutes or so. Obama urged the hecklers to go to Trump's rallies if they like him so much.
"All right. I think we're OK now. I know that -- I noticed this has been happening everywhere and I keep on telling folks you've got to organize your own rallies," Obama said in an apparent reference the protest he faced a day earlier.
"So you don't have to spend time over here. Go knock on some doors for your guy. That's a better way for you to spend your time. Unless you're just being paid to be here, in which case, you know, everybody's got to make a living," he said amidst applause from the audience.
A few minutes later as Obama questioned Trump's honesty the same heckler began shouting again about Bill Clinton being a rapist. This time he was escorted out peacefully.
