That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE.
If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt.

The word to describe these Republican Congress people is “pathetic.” They stand by and watch our America burn because they’re too weak to stand up to Trump. Their lust for a title is more important to them than their country and it’s PATHETIC!
