Montana teenager removed from Trump rally becomes viral as #PlaidShirtGuy

A high school student from Billings, Montana, went viral Thursday for the facial expressions he made in the first seats at President Trump's rally. During the rally, Tyler Linfesty was asked to leave and was replaced by a woman who, according to him, was a member of the campaign staff, reports the CBS Billings affiliate.

The 17-year-old became viral with the #PlaidShirtGuy hashtag at Trump's rally for his incredulous looks and eyebrows. At one point, Linfesty was caught saying "what?" when Mr. Trump speaks. During the rally, he pinned the pink emblem of the Social Democrats of America on his shirt, reports the Billings Gazette.

Linfesty told KTVQ that he had won VIP tickets, which also allowed him to take a picture with Mr. Trump. Linfesty said that Mr. Trump "really unleashed the crowd, but the important thing is to listen to the content of the speech."

"When I heard the policies, I did not agree with most of them," Linfesty said. "I knew what faces I was doing, but those faces were completely authentic – I was not trying to make those faces, it was just faces that came out when I heard what was going on. he said, with, when I disagreed, it was pretty apparent. "

He told the Billings Gazette that he had been told to "continue to applaud, you have to smile, you have to look enthusiastic." But he said, "I had to be honest in my views."

Linfesty told the Billings Gazette that a woman he recognized as a campaign staff member escorted him to a back room where police and secret services examined his identity card. After about 10 minutes, they told him to leave.

"They treated me well," he said. "They just told me not to come back."

The two friends with whom he attended the rally were also invited to leave.
