A woman wore a "release the epstein files" shirt at a rally, stood up, and started talking/shouting. Three men start hitting/grappling her, subdue her, and call over police/security. Instead of dealing with the guys, the police throw HER out of thr venue, while the Orange Man babbles on about paid actors or whatever. The whole thing was all over twitter last night, and there's videos from a few POVs.
If there's one caveat that I could add to it, I think it's important to point out that you can't see any closed-fist "punching," really...? it's absolutely assault, IMO — three adult men start smacking her and pushing her, they yanked off her headphones, they grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and almost pulled her jacket off, she was shoved backwards, they grabbed her hair at the scalp, and one guy (the main one) was bent down and doing SOMETHING at knee/leg level that caused her to fall backwards. Then these three man smacked/pushed/grappled her down to a bent/kneeling position, and held her down against the chair by her hair, clothes, and just gravity in general until security came. It was absolutely physical assault, and absolutely violent. But punching? I'm not sure. It definitely looks like the main guy does something with his left arm that comes down on the back of her head, but you can't see if his hand is open or in a fist due to the camera angle.
The wildest thing is that MAGA people in the comments — of the actual videos, which you could watch with your eyeballs — were all saying that she deserved it somehow and "wasn't punched" and stuff like that. But the video was literally right there, and it was an incredibly obvious video of a woman getting hit and grappled by three men. But "sHe DiDn'T AcTuALLy GeT pUnChEd!!¡!" I guess, so the MAGA crowd is already trying to act like those three guys just "subdued" a "protester"...
