Kamala Supporter Arrested for Assaulting Trump Fans in Edmonds Clash
An incident in Edmonds, Washington, has drawn significant attention after an 82-year-old woman was arrested on charges of a hate crime and assault. The altercation involved two women, Gina Powell, 55, and Mary Jennings, 66, who were publicly demonstrating their support for former President Donald Trump. The confrontation occurred just a day before the 2024 presidential election.
Powell, who is Hispanic, recounted the encounter with the elderly woman, who was identified as a supporter of Kamala Harris. The suspect, wearing a “Harris-Waltz 2024” button, reportedly approached the Trump supporters with hostility. Powell shared with KTTH host Jason Rantz, “She looked at my face and said, ‘I can’t believe you’re voting for a racist … how dare you, you should be ashamed of yourself.’”
The incident escalated when the suspect allegedly pushed Powell and punched her in the chin. Powell, who was wearing a T-shirt that read: “Pro-God, Pro-Gun, Pro-Life, Pro-Trump,” described the physical altercation, stating, “And then, not even a second, she just popped me right in my chin.”
Mary Jennings, who attempted to intervene, was also reportedly assaulted. She described being punched in the chin and having her jaw “slammed” shut by the elderly woman. Despite the physical confrontation, neither Powell nor Jennings required medical attention, though Powell admitted she was “still kind of in shock” and unable to return to work.
The Edmonds Police Department released a statement highlighting that the suspect’s actions were motivated by the victims’ race and political beliefs. “During the incident, the suspect indicated the race of the victims, and their political beliefs were the catalyst for her approaching and yelling at them about their views before the assault.”
The suspect, who remains unnamed, was detained and booked into the Snohomish County Jail. Police Chief Michelle Bennett emphasized the importance of protecting peaceful political expression, stating, “The constitution protects peaceful rallies in our community, and community members should never be met with violence while exercising those rights.”
Mayor Mike Rosen also expressed his dismay over the incident, remarking, “I’m disheartened that this violence has occurred in our community. Elections are an important part of society, and freedom of expression is the foundation on which democracy is built.”
Despite the confrontation, Powell remains undeterred in her support for Trump, drawing inspiration from a past campaign rally incident. “He got shot by a bullet, and he said ‘fight, fight, fight,’ I got a little jab in my chin, so I’m not sitting down,” Powell declared.
The Edmonds Police Department chose to delay the public announcement of the arrest until after the election to avoid exacerbating political tensions.

Why is it that the perp has not been named? I don’t care what color or nationality she is, we ALL know she’s a dumbasscrat! Age also doesn’t matter, plaster her face all over the media, and destroy her credibility! Enough of the commies being allowed to do as they please with no consequences! If she’s anything like my mother in law, she voted without knowing ANYTHING about any of the people running, or the measures, and what they are going to do to our future! She voted for kamal hairass just because she’s a woman, or whatever she is. This is why people should be tested before they vote, it keeps the morons out! Also, Voter ID needs to happen NOW!

So the police “chose to delay the public announcement of the arrest until after the election to avoid exacerbating political tensions”. In other words, they chose to silence any information that would illustrate just how unhinged the leftists are. Would they have extended the same “courtesy” if the assailant had been a Trump supporter and the victims were Harris supporters? This is nothing more than censorship of the news – people have a right to know about events that have taken place in their community in a timely manner, not when the authorities finally decide that the public can “handle” the information. Where’s the public outrage over this? Every American should be troubled by this lack of government transparency, yet the braindead masses will simply nod in agreement with the authorities. America is looking more like a communist country all the time, and I’m not too hopeful that even Donald Trump can turn things around.

This just illustrates how mentally deranged the low lives are. And how infected our government is with treasonous mentally ill Dumbo Craps.
