Nobody saw this kind of thing coming – not!

A Florida Trump volunteer said she pepper-sprayed a Clinton supporter who got in her face and responded to the spray by knocking her down.

Jupiter police were investigating after Donna Tatlici said Tom Garrecht screamed at her that he didn’t need anyone’s help with his vote outside the Jupiter Community Center, WPBF-TV reported. Investigators said the fight happened when he walked outside from voting around 10 a.m. on Tuesday.

Representatives for the Jupiter Police Department didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Tatlici warned Garrecht she had pepper spray and would use it on him when he cursed “right into my face,” she told The Palm Beach Post. He didn’t back off, so she pepper-sprayed him, she said. Garrecht then slammed her to the ground and punched her, according to Tatlici.

Is it even legal to carry pepper spray that close to a voting location? Oh, right – the proper way to respond to loud expletives is to use a chemical weapon! It’s okay, but only if you’re Republican, I guess…

    she had absolutely NO right to engage with anyone. it’s none of her fuckin’ business who’s voting for who. these people are insane to think they can walk up to strangers telling them who they should vote for.

      Exactly. The 100 foot rule needs to be amended to at least 200 feet, not from the entrance, but from the parking lot.

    I’m glad that my father, who fought in the Battle of the Atlantic, and my mother, who was very active in various home front efforts supporting the war, aren’t alive to see what’s become of our nation.

    The Trump Movement- inspiring stupid people to play junior G-man at polling places.

    all is well. the US Justice Dept. (FBI) are out there to make sure no one is ‘forced’ to vote for Hillary.

    I must say she certainly looks pulled together for someone that was “punched” and supposedly knocked down.

      I was thinking the same thing. If she was beaten as badly as she claims, I’m sure we’d see a few scrapes and bruises.
