Man In MAGA Hat Arrested For Allegedly Punching Election Worker
HuffPost
Officials called the episode “ugly” and urged calm.
A man wearing a pro-Trump hat repeatedly punched an elderly election worker in San Antonio, Texas, Thursday evening, according to police, after the worker told him he wasn’t allowed to wear his hat inside a polling place.
The man, Jesse Lutzenberger, was booked on suspicion of injury to an elderly person, a third-degree felony. County records for Lutzenberger indicate he’s 63, and his victim is 69, according to the Bexar County sheriff.
The incident underscores concerns about election-related violence with just days to go until Election Day, as millions of Americans make their way to polling places around the country to vote early.
According to an incident report obtained by HuffPost on Friday, a deputy was dispatched to a library in Bexar County on Thursday night. The deputy said he spoke to a county election clerk who described Lutzenberger as wearing a “MAGA” or “TRUMP” baseball cap.
When the clerk asked him to remove it, he did but only temporarily. It is against state law to wear a hat with political messaging on it while voting, as it is considered electioneering.
