I checked on this (yesterday at an anti-Trump, pro-democracy rally in Leesburg), and apparently what happened is as follows:
- According to a Democrat who was at the event, the “Trump 2028” a**hole pushed his way through the crowd and the crowd pushed back. Apparently, the “Trump 2028” a**hole didn’t directly push Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA10), but the way he was swinging his sign caused people to move and make contact with Rep. Subramanyam.
- According to that same Democrat (also, check out the videos), the “Trump 2028” a**hole was trying to shove his sign in Rep. Subramanyam’s face; there are moments when it’s just inches above Rep. Subramanyman’s head.
- Apparently, the “Trump 2028” a**hole wasn’t arrested. Just imagine if this had been a Republican Congressman and a person of color had done this? They’d probably be in an El Salvadoran hell prison by now…
- Also, according to the Loudoun Times-Mirror: “The protester holding the Trump 2028 sign…was pardoned by Trump for illegally entering the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.” Because OF COURSE he was! Also, “One holding a ‘Trump 2028’ sign said he came out to show support for the Salvadoran government, which is being paid $15 million to house deportees removed by ICE, according to Sen. Chris Van Hollen,D-Maryland.” Greeeeaaaat.
- See below for video of the incident, as well as Rep. Subramanyam’s superb responses: “Thank you all for being out here, we’re gonna keep fighting back.”; “We will not be bullied or silenced. We must speak out and make every voice heard.”

The first ~35 seconds of @SuhasforVA’s speech at the Leesburg rally, and at the end you can see the “Trump 2024” flag man cross the street to disrupt the remarks. Right after this clip, the “Trump 2028” sign man crossed the street and pushed through the crowd to yell profanities. https://t.co/1cBUgt5EWL pic.twitter.com/8VSVpnKU6O
