NEW: Deranged Liberal Assaults Trump Official Mid-Interview
Ed Martin, the Trump nominee whose hopes for higher office were dashed this week, nearly added injury to the insult after a deranged liberal woman attacked him during a live TV interview.
Martin, the acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Washington, D.C., was reacting to news that President Donald Trump had withdrawn his nomination to permanently fill the role when he was interrupted and spit on by the angry woman.
“We need to get serious about–” Martin was saying before he turned toward a gathering commotion off-screen.
“Who the f*** are you?” the woman screamed as she came into focus. “You are in my end!” she appeared to say before spitting on him.
“Whoa!” the Trump appointee reacted, putting up an arm to defend himself. The woman could be seen stomping away viciously while pulling her dog’s leash and turning back to cast a glare.
“You are a disgusting man!” she yelled over her shoulder.
Newsmax correspondent Rob Schmitt shared the clip on X, writing, “This afternoon acting DC US Atty Ed Martin was spit on by a psychotic lib during our interview. Hope she’s ready for a nice stretch in jail.”
WATCH:
As of Friday morning, it’s unclear who the woman is, and Martin, meanwhile, may not have much time to hunt for her. His post atop the local U.S. attorney’s office expires on May 20, and President Trump on Thursday declared that the MAGA prosecutor will be given a consolation prize of sorts, quickly joining Attorney General Pam Bondi at the Department of Justice.
“Ed Martin has done an AMAZING job as interim U.S. Attorney, and will be moving to the Department of Justice as the new Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney. In these highly important roles, Ed will make sure we finally investigate the Weaponization of our Government under the Biden Regime, and provide much needed Justice for its victims. Congratulations Ed!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
There was no room left to shoehorn Martin into office after Republican Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) on Sunday informed the White House that he would not support Martin’s nomination given his defense of several J6 prisoners accused of breaching Capitol grounds or committing acts of violence. The loss of Tillis, along with likely opposition from several other moderate Republican senators, forced Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to cancel a planned vote for later this week.
“I met with Mr. Martin. He seems like a good man. Most of my concerns related to January 6th,” Tillis said on Monday, adding Martin “built a compelling case” that some of the J6 prosecutions were poorly made.
“Where we probably have a difference is I think anybody that breaks the perimeter should’ve been imprisoned for some period of time, whether there’s 30 days or three years is debatable, but I have no tolerance for anybody who entered the building on January the 6th.”
