Police apprehended two young women after they vandalized a pro-Trump floral display on Tuesday in Kirkland, Washington.
The footage: Video posted to the MAGA Flowers Twitter account, which is run by the pro-Trump Kirkland White House PAC, shows the pair in athletic clothes trampling red flowers spelling “MAGA” in the traffic median maintained by the political activist group.
- But in the next part of the video, the women are standing next to a police car in apparent distress.
- Jed Darland, founder of the Kirkland White House PAC, told We’ll Do It Live by e-mail that the women were charged with misdemeanor malicious mischief.
- “Cancellation, removal, or censorship of speech, whether online, in person or spelled out in defenseless flowers puts one’s own speech at risk,” he said. “Those who support this behavior are inviting the issuance of similar actions against themselves.”
Consequences: Tuesday’s incident is not the first time anti-Trump vandals have come to grief.
- In one high-profile incident, a woman threw away her neighbor’s “problematic” sign showing a BLM supporter and a Trump supporter hugging — only for the artist to turn out to be black.
