MIDDLEBURY— Lake Quassy Amusement Park & Waterpark said it ejected a spectator who charged the stage during a magician’s performance after the entertainer made a joke about presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
The Greenwich Time reports Jim Sisti, of Beacon Falls, had been performing on Saturday at the Middlebury park when a child told him she liked tacos.
Sisti said he made a quip alluding to Trump’s rhetoric on Mexicans, prompting an angry spectator to stand up, run at the stage, and begin a vulgar tirade as several children were on stage.
Sisti said 100 spectators attended the show and many began “catcalling.”
A park spokesman confirmed the unidentified spectator was ejected following the incident. The man wasn’t banned from future visits.
