An elderly man both verbally and physically assaulted a young Turning Point USA volunteer at the polls, a video posted to X shows.
An 18-year-old man was volunteering with Turning Point Action outside a polling station in New Hampshire on Tuesday when an elderly man approached him and began to raise his voice. The confrontation then escalated, as depicted in a video included in Turning Point Action’s Tuesday afternoon X post.
The context of the conflict in the 40 second video is unclear. However, the elderly man is seen yelling, “you have no idea who I am, so how dare you say I don’t know much!”
The volunteer then responded, “you haven’t presented a single statistic.”
The elderly man then seemed to grow increasingly agitated, continuing to yell at the 18-year-old.
“Neither have you! G**damn. I cannot believe that bulls**t. You sat there and dare to look me in the face. And say I don’t know anything,” he shouted, gesturing at the teen before giving him the middle finger.
“That’s what I know. F*** you,” the elderly man continued, slapping the volunteer in the face.
After bystanders can be heard saying “woah,” the old man marched away.
“He stayed calm. The left got violent,” Turning Point Action’s X post featuring the video stated. “Don’t cede the ground, show up to the polls. Your vote helps us outnumber these people.”
