Independent reporter Cam Higby immediately responded to an attack by a violent left-wing agitator while hanging out with friends in his MAGA hat at Union Station in Washington, D.C., on Friday.
Video of the incident posted online shows a black man lunging at Higby and knocking him out of his stadium chair, after which Higby pursued the man and doused his face with mace.
After being maced, the attacker stumbled around for a few moments before bending over in the grass and struggling to see and breathe.
Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has opened a federal investigation into the Portland Police Bureau following the arrest of conservative journalist and influencer Nick Sortor, in a move that could reignite longstanding tensions between federal officials and local authorities over protest enforcement in Oregon’s largest, but troubled, city.
Sortor, who has frequently covered demonstrations and immigration enforcement issues, was arrested Thursday night outside Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility. He was charged with second-degree disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, after what police described as interference during ongoing protests.
