Trump Mocks Assaulted Protester at Ohio Rally

At a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, a man in the crowd shoved and struck a woman protester wearing a shirt that called for release of the Epstein files. Police escorted the woman from the venue. The man who struck her remained. Donald Trump called the protester a paid agitator. He did not provide evidence for that claim. He mocked her weight, repeatedly told her to go on a diet, and misidentified her gender. Video of the confrontation was broadcast by Newsmax and then circulated online. The incident drew criticism online. The available record does not identify the woman or the man, report any arrest, or include further official action.
