On Sunday evening, black Trump supporter R.C. Maxwell was cold-clocked by a “counter protester” during the ‘America First: Vigil for Victims’ rally in Laguna Beach, California.
The black Trump supporter was speaking with far left activists when the Alt-left thug punched him in the face.
Here is part of Maxwell’s statement to Big League Politics:
“I engaged a few people in dialogue but in scholarly dialogue as I try to do with the crew at these kinds of rallies,” R.C. Maxwell, the black man who was punched, told Big League Politics.
“The first time I was attacked it was a timed attack, someone tugged at my MAGA hat, then someone else hit me from behind and then tried to drag me into the street,” said Maxwell, who runs the American Voice PAC. He was carrying a copy of Milo Yiannopoulos’ book Dangerous as a means of protest.
“I’m no brute, never looking for fights at these things just the opportunity for dialogue, inform the other side of what our belief system is etc…,” Maxwell said.
On Tuesday police arrested 20 year-old Richard Losey from Ohio after he tried to flee the state.
The LA Times reported:
A 20-year-old Ohio man was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of battery after he allegedly “sucker-punched” a Trump supporter at an anti-illegal immigration rally in Laguna Beach on Sunday, police said.
Richard Losey was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor battery with a hate-crime enhancement, according to the Laguna Beach Police Department. He was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.
Police said R.C. Maxwell was “peacefully” speaking with a group of people at Main Beach Park when the counter-protester punched him.
Maxwell, a black Trump supporter, told The Times he went to speak with counter-protesters “trying to find commonalities” and was explaining his views when he was attacked. He said he was also pepper-sprayed and choked.
The alt-left criminal has been arrested and charged with a hate crime. https://t.co/uLdVjMaErh
