The sign was difficult to read.

A man standing behind Donald Trump at a Wednesday-night rally held a fairly unusual protest sign.

The Republican presidential front-runner gave a fairly stump speech before a packed Clemson University crowd in Pendleton, South Carolina. At various points in his speech, however, a sunglasses-clad man stood up with a sign declaring, "TRUMP LIKES HIS STEAK WELL DONE."

This was an apparent reference to a Tuesday report in The Telegraph in which Trump was described ordering a well-done steak at a restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire. The report caused a small firestorm of mockery on Twitter.

As the Independent Journal Review documented on Wednesday, a guerrilla-comedy group has been doing various stunts across the 2016 campaign trail. It wasn't immediately clear if the steak protester was related to that effort.
