A man has been arrested and charged with a misdemeanor after throwing a glass of water at Rep. Steve King in an Iowa restaurant on Friday.
According to a statement from the Fort Dodge Police Department, Rep. King was having a group lunch around 12:30 p.m. when 26-year-old Blake Gibbins approached the table and inquired about his identity.
Ultimately, the man ended up throwing a glass of water at Rep. King — and others at the table were also hit.
“When officers arrived on scene, they discovered the intended victim, United States Representative Steve King, was having a group lunch when an unknown male approached their table. The male approached Mr. King, inquired as to his identity, and ultimately threw a glass of water on Mr. King,” the statement from police says. “Others having lunch with Mr. King were also struck. Based on witness information, it is believed Mr. King was specifically targeted due to his position as a United States Representative.”

King has been the target of leftist smears for some time.
Gibbins has been charged with two counts of simple assault and one count of disorderly conduct.
Democrats are cheering the assault.
