A group of Trump volunteers say they were confronted by a “deranged leftist” outside a union event attended by Vice President Kamala Harris as they prepared a table of campaign literature.
A video taken by a volunteer shows a heavyset man with sunglasses and gray hair who began yelling at the group as he walked past the table while walking his dog.
“He’ll be in jail by the time he runs for president,” the man sneered.
“F**k you,” a person behind the table replied.

“F**k you!” The man responded and charged at a volunteer, knocking over water bottles on the table before walking away with his dog, who became increasingly irritated by the conflict.
Other photos from the event showed the Trump volunteer group’s tables turned over and campaign literature littering the street.
“Outside Kamala’s event in Pennsylvania, far-left activists resorted to violence against Team Trump volunteers and overturned tables outside the venue,” the Trump War Room social media account reported, demanding that Biden and Harris to denounce violence that took place.
The Trump team linked the attack to news that the Justice Department had authorized deadly force to raid the former president’s club in Florida to retrieve classified documents in his possession.
“This comes as reports reveal the FBI’s authorized use of DEADLY FORCE against President Trump during the 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid,” the Trump account posted with the hashtag #BidenAttacksDemocracy
The Biden campaign did not respond to the video.
Harris spoke at the Service Employees International Union on Wednesday and thanked them for their support.
“I think one of the most important traits of a leader’s character, and this is a room full of leaders, is people who have a sense of empathy, who care and care about the well-being of other people and who do something. about it,” she said.
After the event, Harris went to buy Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, a time-honored political tradition in Philadelphia.

“I want a cheesesteak, mind if I make it with provolone?” she asked the workers, laughing. “I guess that’s a good thing, right? I can still walk out of here with respect.”
She also ordered a cheesesteak for her husband Doug Emhoff, which she received from the restaurant’s employees with “cooper and whizz.”
During her speech at the SEIU, Harris condemned Trump for sharing a video that she said was “highlighted language from Nazi Germany.”
“This kind of rhetoric is not surprising from the former president and it is appalling and we need to tell him who we are,” she said.
Harris reiterated her warning that Trump and his campaign posed a threat to the country.
“It shows that our freedoms and our democracy are at stake as a result of these attacks,” she said.
