Description
🚨 HE CAME TO READ A POEM. HE LEFT IN HANDCUFFS. 🚨
A 70-year-old Democrat walked up to a Turning Point Action table outside a polling place in Laconia, New Hampshire on Election Day, told an 18-year-old volunteer he wanted to read him a poem about rich people, and ended the conversation by slapping him across the face. Stephen Redic was arrested the next morning and is now charged with misdemeanor simple assault and disorderly conduct. He’s scheduled to be arraigned on December 10.
In this video I play the full clip, the Fox News segment with Todd Piro, and the Laconia Police Chief’s statement that there are “two different sides” to a video of a grown man backhanding a teenager. I also found Redic’s own poetry readings on Facebook, including one from right before the 2024 election where he warned that “the poets die first.”
Then I show you why this isn’t a one-off. In the last two weeks alone, a College Republicans table at the University of Utah was attacked by a student who said Republicans should be shot in the street, and a Turning Point member at the University of Michigan was hit in the face with a phone by an Abdul El-Sayed supporter. All three happened at tables set up for debate.

✅ Why free speech on college campuses and at polling places keeps getting met with political violence
Fourteen months after Charlie Kirk was killed under a Turning Point tent, an 18-year-old stood at a folding table and got slapped for asking a 70-year-old man for a statistic.
Why do you think the left has become this allergic to a simple conversation? Let me know in the comments. 👇
