Shirley Teter took her oxygen tank and headed to the Trump rally in Asheville, North Carolina, to join other anti-Trump protesters. In the video interview below, she tells a WLOS reporter she was there because it was a “situation that sickened her heart.”
"Whenever groups of them would start chanting 'Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump!' I would chant back, 'Dump! Dump! Dump! Dump!' It was kind of comical," Teter said.
After the rally, Teter experienced something she had never seen in all of her protests. Peace teetered over into something else.
"I said, 'You better learn to speak Russian,' and I said, 'The first two words are going to be ha ha.' He stopped in his tracks, and he turned around and just cold-cocked me," Teter said.
The man who cold-cocked her was Richard Campbell of Edisto Island, South Carolina, and police are looking to arrest him. Watch a WLOS interview with Shirley Teter, below.
