As Trump looks on, supporters beat woman protester at rally in Youngstown, Ohio
At a campaign rally Monday in Ohio, a young woman who has yet to be identified was violently assaulted by multiple Trump supporters. Video of the event, which has been viewed millions of times on social media, sparked outrage and calls for the perpetrators to be arrested.
This is America.
Trump Rally, Ohio.
A man pulls the hair and punches a female protestor in the face a few times, when she doesn't fall.. assaulter motions for security to help.
They dragged her out and did nothing to the man.
A symbol for the entire Republican party.
The woman was wearing a shirt that read: “Release the Epstein files.” The Trump administration has yet to release over 3 million files associated with the late fixer, sex trafficker and friend to Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.
Video of the assault shows the woman’s hair being pulled by a bald man in a gray shirt. The man strikes the woman in the face multiple times while at least two other men push and shove her to the ground. Police are then seen grabbing and pulling the woman out of the arena as the crowd chants, “USA! USA! USA!”
Trump, approvingly viewing the assault, claimed without evidence that the person was a “paid protester.” He said, “He’s a paid protester. They are all paid. They get paid by the lefties in order to destroy our country. They are scum, but he is going back home to mom.”
Trump added, “Don’t we love our law enforcement?”
The crowd continued to chant “USA! USA! USA!” as the young protester was manhandled and assaulted by the crowd and police.
Video posted by TMZ shows the protester, despite not breaking any laws, being aggressively marched out of the arena by a sheriff’s deputy and security personnel.
Before police forced her out, they photographed her with a cellphone. She repeatedly asked why they had taken her picture and what it would be used for. The recording ended without police providing an audible answer. It was unclear whether the phone was department-issued or a personal device.
The scenes recall the German American Bund’s Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939. When Jewish worker Isadore Greenbaum rushed the stage to protest, Bund stormtroopers beat him as the crowd cheered. Police removed and arrested Greenbaum. The rally combined American flags and a portrait of George Washington with swastikas and denunciations of “Jewish Moscow-directed domination.”
One of the thugs in the assault is Russell Dickert of Browns Mills, New Jersey. A circulating screenshot of a Facebook post bearing Dickert’s name claims that he, a friend named Gary and Gary’s son Clint “subdued her and threw her to the concrete” after the protester called Trump a fascist. The author identifies himself as wearing a green shirt and hat, Gary a black shirt and Clint a camouflage shirt.
A LinkedIn profile under the same name and location, Browns Mills, New Jersey, identifies the assailant as a supervisor at Harsco Metals & Minerals, with an affiliation with the US Navy.
