In Boulder, Colorado, a 12 year old boy was riding his bicycle and carrying a Trump 2020 yard sign when he was brutally attacked by an anti-Trump lunatic riding past him.
The boy was riding his bicycle, minding his own business, when a woman riding a gray-blue moped drove past him.
Police say that she immediately made a U-turn, pulled up beside the boy and “began assaulting him because of his political banner.” According to the report, she struck the boy four or five times with a closed fist.
She then attempted to take the boy’s sign, which he was reportedly using to defend himself. Her attempt to steal the sign was unsuccessful.
The police have a description of the suspect, and are investigating. The woman was reportedly in her 20’s or 30’s, wearing a small tan jacket, blue shirt, and blue jeans. Her hair was blondish-brown, and past her shoulders.
The boy’s father has stated that he will be pressing charges.
Denver7 News spoke with the boy, who stated that this wasn’t the first time he was attacked for supporting President Trump, though it was the first time it was done by an adult:
Twitter has become inundated with conservatives decrying the incident, especially since it wasn’t the first time a lunatic anti-Trump activist has attacked a child, or worse.
Buck Sexton, host of a conservative podcast, says that the root cause of these attacks is mental illness:
For millions of liberals- like this grown woman who attacked a 12 year old boy- anti-Trumpism is a mental illness. Thereās no other way to describe or explain it. Itās irrational, like other phobias, but can be dangerous to others as we see hereā¬ļø https://t.co/CHZ40Qan8K
