White woman, 82, arrested for hate crime after attacking Hispanic female Trump supporters
A white woman was filmed being arrested for a hate crime after she allegedly assaulted two Hispanic women for supporting Donald Trump.
The 82-year-old woman, who has not been named, was arrested on Tuesday in suburban Seattle after she allegedly approached MAGA voters Gina Powell and Mary Jennings to ask them why they would support Trump, given the color of their skin.
'I approached her, and I said I want to know why you're voting for Trump. That's the only thing. And. And I said because you're brown-skinned,' the octogenarian told police, according to KOMO News.
The woman has not been charged but a judge found probable cause for a hate crime offense, as well as two counts of fourth-degree assault.
Powell and Jennings say they were waving Trump flags with a group of fellow supporters of the Republican on a corner in Edmonds when the woman approached them.
'I was just shocked at just the presence of mind, and she made it very clear it was my skin color,' Powell said.
'And that's when she shoved me, pushed me back, and I said don't touch me. And then not even a second, she just popped me right in my chin.'
Powell told 770 KTTH the woman was particularly upset at her shirt, which read: 'Pro-God, pro-guns, pro-life, pro-Trump.'
The arrested woman told police her response was to push Powell away and admitted she put her hand on her chin and pushed on her shoulder, but insisted it 'wasn't hard.'
Jennings then stepped in to separate the women, and says the white liberal ended up punching her too.
'I said you have no right to touch anyone, and she goes all I did was all it was barely like this, and she punched me,' Jennings said.
'But she connected, and you know, it slammed my jaw shut,' Jennings said.
An emotional Powell said she has not been able to work yet and is still in shock
