Gregory Timm, 27, was arrested several hours after six volunteers working on Trump's 2020 re-election campaign were targeted in Jacksonville, Florida. The vehicle struck their outdoor stall and narrowly missed the volunteers at around 2pm, according to the Duval County GOP Twitter account. Soon after the incident, President Trump sent a tweet warning the perpetrator to 'be careful who you play with'. The suspect was reportedly driving an older model brown van which he 'accelerated' as he drove towards the group, who were registering new voters. The driver did not strike any of the volunteers, and reportedly made an obscene gesture as he sped away from the scene. Timm has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault, one of criminal mischief and driving while driver’s license suspended, ABC News reported... Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is reportedly looking at the incident as an 'interruption of the political process. We are investigating this as an aggravated assault. Several people were in the area and could have been seriously hurt... we are taking the situation very seriously,' the Sheriff's Office told Daily Wire before Timm's arrest. Meanwhile, Duval County GOP Chairman Dean Black released a statement which read: 'We are outraged by this senseless act of violence toward our great volunteers. The Republican Party of Duval County will not be intimidated by these cowards and we will not be silenced.' Mayor of Jacksonville Lenny Curry tweeted: 'This is outrageous. The hate is toxic and dangerous. Thankfully no one was injured but certainly they are shaken after being targeted because they were registering voters. I’ve spoken to the Sheriff and of course his team is on top of this.'... |
