Who in their right mind punches an old lady with an oxygen tank? If the accusation is true, a Trump supporter did. That is what 69-year-old Shirley Teter is saying happened while she was protesting a Trump rally in Asheville, NC.
She says she recalls telling the man, “You better learn to speak Russian.” That’s when she says, the man clocked her:
According to police, they are seeking to arrest Richard Campbell of Edisto Island, South Carolina for assault on a female.
This would represent an all new low for a Trump supporter but violence by them towards protesters is nothing new. If you watch this video, the Trump fan tries to assault three separate people. They were protesters being asked to leave by security.

That’s why this campaign is such a dumpster fire. I don’t care what anybody says, there were no incidents (if there was, it was rare) of Romney or McCain supporters assaulting protesters in 2012 and 2008.
I know people connected to the mob who are more respectful than these people.
