This past weekend at a Republican event in the state of Arizona, specifically in green
valley, Arizona, a 73 year old activist was grabbed by the neck by Republican candidate,
Blake masters, who of course has been endorsed by Donald Trump and thrown to the ground.
After masters incorrectly believed that this individual had hit a woman.
Now there is video of the event.
Uh, masters does show up, it's a blink and you'll miss it thing.
Cuz he goes very fast grabbing the 73 year old man in slamming him to the ground.
But here is the clip nevertheless.
So you can see what happened for yourself.
Take
a look.
And of course, again, it's very difficult to tell who is masters in that video, there
are stills available that you can kind of see, you know, where he is.
And of course he's admitted.
He said, basically, you know, this dude hit a woman and I was gonna jump in and, and stop
him.
But the reason the altercation began in the first place is because this 73 year old activist
did show up in a jail Trump hat and a black lives matter t-shirt and several of the people
in attendance at this Republican rally didn't take too kindly to that.
He was also of course wearing an N 95 mask and a button that said fully Veed.
So he kind of walked into the lions den, right?
That doesn't excuse anything that happened to him, but he knew, I, I, I think at least
to some degree that these people were not gonna take kindly to this.
And that is of course why he had his GoPro filming this entire time, which of course
is why we even have video of it in the first place.
But he, the 73 year old man that was tackled to the ground by a Trump backed Republican
candidate is the only one facing any charges.
He is facing charges for both trespassing at a public event and simple assault for allegedly
touching a woman who of course struck him first.
She did throw a right hook at him, hit him.
And so he pushed her off.
And then all these Republicans, as you can see from the video said, no, you can't hit
a woman.
And that's I guess when masters heard it ran over there slammed a 73 year old man to the
ground.
Masters himself is 35 years old.
So not exactly a fair fight, right?
And of course the woman did strike him first and him trying to get her away was of course
self- it was not in any way assault, but he's being charged.
Charges are likely to not stick again because he has this whole thing on video.
But again, we're talking about a 35 year old Trump backed Republican came that it running
for Senate in the state of Arizona, that neck tackled a man, an elderly gentleman to the
ground, a gentleman that was not being violent.
Was it provocative?
What he did?
Sure.
Does that justify anything that happened to him?
Absolutely not.
And of course after he was hit, after he was tackled to the ground, they literally picked
him up and carried him outside of the event so that he could no longer be in attendance.
This whole thing is beyond ridiculous.
Right?
Nothing should have happened to this man.
If you had a problem with his presence there, you didn't like his hat or shirt or button
or mask, all you had to do was nothing that's it.
But that's something Republicans can't seem to do.
They just can't ignore it when they see it out there because they get so mad and so triggered
and leads to the assault of a 73 year old man who again is somehow the only one charged
in this incident.
I imagine that his video clip is not only going to exonerate him, but it could easily
result in charges against other individuals possibly up to and including Blake masters
himself.
