MAGA Fascists doing Fascist stuff.

He's a Republican- that's meaningful to the story context.

Violence is almost never random.

The republican cult male hits a woman? Well I'm not surprised

So why did you bury THE FACT that he was 'running ... AS A REPUBLICAN ...', A FACT WHICH MAKES THIS STORY SO ABSOLUTELY SALIENT, RELEVANT, AND APPROPRIATE? PERFECT! ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Appropriately, apparently HE got 'knocked out' of the race. PERFECT!

Officer 1: 'Btch!! I said you ain't having my baby!!!' Officer 2: 'I already named him, Copper!!'

He punched her in the face. Sounds like a republican to me.

Yikes.
