Violence is becoming the order of the day when it comes to unhinged leftists obsessed with hating President Donald J. Trump and his Team MAGA followers.
The latest example of the use of duress over debate was seen in a physical confrontation at Washington, DC’s Union Station. In a video making the rounds on social media, conservative activist Cam Higby was physically assaulted by a woman who lunged at him, ripping his MAGA hat from his head and hitting him with it.
Higby responded with a healthy dose of pepper spray before the woman beat a hasty retreat.

The altercation happened on Wednesday, after Higby hosted a debate at the University of Maryland — he was at Union Station as part of the Fearless Tour, which offers people an opportunity to debate.
“At some point, she dropped to her knees, intentionally … and she started yelling at us and started touching us,” Higby told Fox News. “I told her to back up and stop touching me, and she lunged at me and attacked me.”

Higby, who seeks to promote peaceful political dialogue while exposing violence on the left, said the woman got help washing her eyes out and then called the police.
But she then became combative and assaulted officers, according to Higby.
“At this point now, she’s struggling with federal police, and then they tried to arrest her,” he said. “Her dad is yelling at us, ‘why did you spray my daughter,’ as she’s actively fighting with federal police. In my head, I’m thinking, this is why she got sprayed. It took four federal police officers to hold her down, and finally they loaded her into the back of the police car.”

The woman was later identified as Taylor Forte, and said to be a public school teacher in Prince George County, according to the post seen here:

Not a surprising discovery, if found to be true.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:

I think I would have deployed the mace before she knocked me over

Cam … you have to be more careful.
She never should’ve even been allowed that close. We have to take our security more seriously.
The radicsl Left is a terrorist element.
