According to reports, Timm ran over chairs and tables, and witnesses said he recorded the scene moments after the incident, made an obscene gesture and sped off.<\/p>\n<p>Timm has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a person 65 years old or older, one count of criminal mischief and driving with a suspended license. An arrest report said Timm told deputies he did not like President Trump and \u201csomeone had to take a stand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Days later, in Windham, N.H., amid the state\u2019s first-in-the-nation primary last Tuesday, a man allegedly assaulted a 15-year-old Trump supporter and two adults who had been volunteering at a polling site, Fox News first reported.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-95964 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bradley.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"276\" height=\"183\" \/><br \/>\nPatrick Bradley<\/p>\n<p>The New Hampshire man, Patrick Bradley, 34, was charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct after allegedly getting in the face of the teenage boy, Nate Campbell, who was wearing a red \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d hat, and slapping him across the face. He also is said to have assaulted two other adults who attempted to intervene.<br \/>\nPolice arrested Bradley days after the incident. He was also accused of throwing Trump campaign signs and attempting to knock over the Trump campaign tent set up at the Windham High School polling site.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell&#8217;s mother, Cathy Campbell, in an exclusive interview with Fox News last week, said &#8220;it&#8217;s scary that you can&#8217;t express which political party you are. People need to know how much intolerance there is right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was apprehensive about him wearing the MAGA hat, because we know it can provoke and we know people don\u2019t like Trump,\u201d she explained. \u201cBut he wore the hat because he\u2019s a proud 15-year-old and he doesn\u2019t know what people are going to be like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added: &#8220;It sickens me that people would be angry at a kid for wearing a stupid hat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., spoke out last week after the incident in New Hampshire, accusing the mainstream media of not calling out the violence against Trump supporters and Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo a leftist attacks 3 Trump supporters, including a 15-year-old child, in NH this week,\u201d Trump Jr. tweeted Thursday. \u201cLast week a deranged leftist attempted to run over a group of Trump supporters with a car in FL. What will it take for the MSM to finally call out leftwing violence?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Eventually an attempted assault will end very badly for the assaulter. How do you suppose the media will spin that?<br \/>\nRead the entire article here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/startling-threats-and-violence-against-gop-voters-part-of-a-pattern\">Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kino Jimenez Swearing, throwing soda and snatching a kid&#8217;s MAGA hat in a fast food joint. &hellip; <a title=\"Startling threats and violence against GOP voters: Part of a pattern?\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=95960\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Startling threats and violence against GOP voters: Part of a pattern?<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[430,472],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-95960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2020-election","category-democrats"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=95960"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95960\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":95966,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95960\/revisions\/95966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=95960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=95960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=95960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
