Trump Lover Flashed Gun At Elizabeth Warren Supporter: Police

A Donald Trump supporter in Moorhead, Minnesota, was arrested on felony charges Monday after police say he trailed a woman with an Elizabeth Warren bumper sticker on her car and flashed a gun at her.

The 18-year-old woman was driving when the suspect, 27-year-old Joseph Schumacher of West Fargo, North Dakota, pulled up next to her in his own vehicle and yelled at her about the bumper sticker, according to a release from the Moorhead Police Department.


Wanting to make sure the woman knew where he stood on the political spectrum, Schumacher pointed toward his own pro-Trump bumper sticker while continuing to voice “his difference in national political views,” the statement continued.

The harassment continued for a few blocks, Moorhead Police Capt. Deric Swenson told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

what happened to you and the Minnesota woman. Most of the MAGATS that do such stuff are just acting like assholes, but you never know when you're going to meet the one intent on committing homicide.

The source was Raw Story and, given how Raw Story isn't held in high regard around here, I decided to lay off.
