Wild: Woman Spits on Ed Martin During Live Interview

The interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, "Eagle" Ed Martin, has had an eventful few days.

First, it was announced that President Donald Trump would be withdrawing his nomination to serve in that position.

But then, Trump called his work "amazing" and announced that Martin would serve in a new role at the Department of Justice as the "Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney."

Martin would still be focused on looking into questions of the weaponization of the government, and indeed, he welcomed the news, tweeting, "Eagle Unleashed," and thanking Trump for the position.

Thank you, Mr. President.

On top of it, Trump capped the day off on Thursday, naming Fox's Judge Jeanine Pirro as the new interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. So that is going to be quite the team following up on weaponization. The left has to be seething over how it turned out, now having both of them.

But that wasn't all Martin was dealing with on Thursday. He was being interviewed by Rob Schmitt of Newsmax on the street about all the events. Martin was mid-sentence, saying, "We need to get really focused," when suddenly a woman with a dog came up, shouting at him. "You are Ed Martin!" she yelled. The video then shows her spitting on him, then stalking off and shouting, "You are a disgusting man!" This was wild.

No, spitting on someone is disgusting. It could also potentially be pursued as an assault. Then, too, Martin is also a federal official, which makes it worse, so if the D.C. police don't pursue it, the feds could. Schmitt called her a "psychotic lib" and said he hoped she was "ready for a nice stretch in jail."

She seems nice. https://t.co/GR4FTbVgrj

We'll have to see what happens if they identify her, which I think is quite likely, given the video has gone viral and gotten over a million views. Many shared her picture and called for her to be charged. Someone will figure out who she is; I don't think it will take long. But it's twisted to think and act like this. So much for "tolerance." Now that she's tried the "fool around" bit, she will likely face the "find out" part of the equation.

Martin noted, with some humor, that this was "among the many reasons that I wear that great coat." The coat is like a throwback to the famous TV police detective, Lt. Columbo.

Among the many reasons that I wear that great coat ... 🤷‍♂️ https://t.co/MhO5ntDLln

Good for rain and anything else that may come flying in D.C.
