Apparently, the reporter touched Trump with a pen in her hand.

That's plenty enough justification to react physically to check the possible threat while in a large crowd.

I looked really closely. She had maneuvered inside Trump’s security.

I think maybe the pen was her phone. It’s silver anyway.

We’re told it was her right arm. I think it’s her left, based on the upper arm.

IMHO.
