Trump Supporter Caught On Video Screaming And Fighting With Poll Workers

For the fourth time in four days, a Trump supporter was caught making a scene at a polling station, and for the second time, this one ended in violence. A Trump supporter in South Carolina was confronted by poll workers after he initially refused to take off his “Let’s Go Brandon” hat that was in violation of rules that prohibit political signs and slogans inside a voting area. When he finally threw the hat, things escalated from there in a violent way. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

For the fourth time in four days, a Trump supporter caused a scene at a polling station because he doesn't like being told what to do. Now, we happen to have a video clip of this, and I'm gonna show you that in just a moment. I do have to give you a very strong language warning with this, uh, because the man, the Trump supporter as irate. But let me give you a little bit of backstory real quick. Uh, this took place in South Carolina. The Trump supporter walks in for early voting, and he's wearing a hat that says, let's go, Brandon. Well, the law says In South Carolina, the poll manager shall use every reasonable means to keep the area within 500 feet of any such entrance, clear of political literature and displays. And the county and municipal law enforcement officers, upon request of a poll manager, shall remove or cause to be removed any material within 500 feet of any such entrance, distributed or displayed in violation of this section.

So his, let's go. Brandon Hat violated this law because, let's go. Brandon is a political slogan of the Republican Party. You cannot have that. So all he was asked to do is take off the hat. That's it. Take off the hat. He's the second Trump supporter, by the way, in the last week, in the last four days, that has become violent at a polling station for being asked to take off his Trump hat. We had an incident earlier this week where a 63-year-old man punched a 69-year-old, uh, poll worker because he told him to take off his hat. So again, strong language warning, but here is the clip. Take a look.

Wow, listen, don't, this is my right here. Wow. Why is that defending? Shut the hell up. Let vote. Okay, we ain't got nothing. Wow. There, it's right there. Wow. Wow. God. Oh, don't do that. Wow. Wow, wow, wow.

All he had to do was take off the hat, and that's how he reacted. Now you're watching that clip, right? And you see the woman strike him first, right? That's what you see. But according to the report, what you can't see, because his body is kind of blocking it, is that allegedly he had grabbed her hand first causing her to recoil, and then of course slap him. So he, according to the reports, again, you can't really tell from the video, so I'm not a hundred percent, but the reports say that he touched her first, and then of course, after she slapped him, he became irate. And is now at that point, as you just saw in the video, confronting a group of African American women with what looks to be, you know, anger and possibly violent intent end.

That's not acceptable. Yes, you got hit. She may have hit you first. Again, it's, it's difficult to tell that you did grab her in that video. I don't know if it happened, but regardless, all of it could have been avoided if you'd have just taken off the hat. Man, voting's quick and easy. Like I don't understand how I go in there sometimes, and I get my ballot. I fill everything out. Don't leave anything blank. And there's still people like struggling to get through the third question, but it's like a two minute thing. You just had to take off the hat for two minutes. Nobody in there was judging you. Nobody in there was like, oh my God, he is bald. That's why he has to wear a hat. Nobody cared. You wouldn't have ever seen any of these people again for the rest of your life, most likely. But you couldn't do that. And the situation escalated. And now, once again, for the fourth time in four days, Trump supporters becoming angry and violent because they don't like being told what to do, even though what they're being told to do is, Hey, follow the law.
